Owen @ ARD built my whole car including the tranny. Ive had his tranny in behind my stuff for over three years without a single problem and I know if there was ever a problem he would be there to fix it and make it right. The man stands behind his work and you dont have to put his kids through college to get his service.

Yup that is true i have had all the work on my car done by Owen and he stands behind it, charges good prices and has damn good customer service.

juan's transmission shop in pasadena, small shop but seems like the guy knows his ****... he recently built mine, I have seen a quite a few of f-bodys there too, **** he just sold a 8 or 9 sec 69 camaro that he used to have... so Im pretty sure he can build some very strong trannys.... his brothers has a ~90 mustang race car too, its actually sitting at the shop...

I'll throw in my two cents for Owen at ARD. You can't go wrong with his built trannys!

It's a no-brainer to pick ARD over Century. Better tranny, better service, better prices, better warranty.

Bill, I'm not saying that Century doesn't build a good tranny, but all things considered ARD is the better deal. Have you noticed how many other satisfied ARD tranny customers have chimed in as well? I too have spoken to Owen about becoming a sponsor on here and hopefully he will be one soon.

Just that the crew on another site that represent ARD are not doing him any favors. I am not on here to get in a pissing match with anyone about anything, I am sure ARD does fine work. I was just misreading your post.
