Default FLP Reviews?

I spent the first 18 years of my life in Naper"thrill" and never heard of them. Now I'm halfway across the country and considering getting one of their Level 5 4L65E's. Curious if anyone here has any experiance with these guys, or this tranny.

Well the whole operation there is top notch. Chuck's transmissions are hard to beat. The place for transmissions for sure.

I agree. Excellent shop, great quality work. They built a Level IV for my WS6 back in '03. Best trans I've ever had.

I drove four hours to have them work on my car. They did a great job on my gear install, and the customer service is excellent! They made me feel like a valued customer, and not just another dollar.

I have bought some parts from Phil@FLP- real nice guy, got me the stuff I needed within a day even though it was a part that he didn't stock. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
