This guy busted *** to get my T56 built. Even after complications with the machine shops involved, he was still able to complete my stage 3 build on the day requested. He even stayed until 9 at night (4 and a half hours after close) to complete it since I drove from Houston.

When he tore it down, we found more damage than I was expecting. The total would have come to an unaffordable amount for myself. So what did he do? he searched through his spare parts and picked the best looking ones and saved me a bunch of money.

A real stand up guy. Definetly would reccomend.

Haven't had a chance to install the transmission yet but i expect nothing but the best from him. Will post driving results.

I have used him twice on customer cars. It has been a great experience both times.

He bailed me out a few times when I was 6 speed. Good customer service for sure.

This is great to hear....gonna have to keep him in mind if I ever need something.

Glad to have some positive feedback left, seems like negative experiences are the only things worth posting sometimes.

Same here, had a stuck bolt, (which I knew about) taking it apart housing broke,
he dissembled trans right in front of me, said it looked pretty good, he did not try to sell me anything I did not need, he found me a good housing built trans with upgraded parts
gave me a call earlier than expected, and charged exactly what he quoted. Great
experience. would recommend to anyone.

+1. I discussed building my trans with him for several months. Just out of curiosity I messaged him to inquire about a trade. I picked up a tr6060 out of a fifth gen that was knowingly damaged in some form or fashion and took him both the 6060 and my t56 and being that I was only in town that one day he busted *** and got my t56 apart, build, and back together and traded me the parts/labor for the broke 6060 I had no use for. Plus some cash, but extremely reasonable. This was all within a 6hr window of time I was there in town. Saved me shipping and time, but most importantly money!

I've used Jason in the past, and he is one stand up guy. Very honest and did wonders with setting my gears right for no whine. I will be using him again when the 12bolt goes in.

UPDATE: Finally had a chance to drive it and run it through the gears a bit. Shifts like butter! I'm used to no lift shifting my Cobalt SS so I unintentionally did it in the Formula. It practically sucked itself into gear. Beautiful work so far!
