Exclamation Fuddle Stahl...Problems

So I ordered A torque converter from Fuddle exactly 4 weeks ago tomorrow. I have been trying to get a hold of them since day 1. I have yet to here from them via emial or phone call. I have left them messages and emails, and now I don't no what to do... I have had several friends order from them and they had no problems. Anyone had any experience with Fuddle or anyone have any advice?

Post this up in the Sponsor Feedback section.

Then go to the Automatic Forum to see how many guys have gotten the same shitty service.

Then deal with a reputable Sponsor and you won't be getting the hose!

Yank and Vigilante are good converters, i've heard good things about Circle D as well.. and they are in Texas.. i'm sure there are others that can build you a good one.

I've seen some of what I "heard" were Fuddle converters in our area (Midland/Odessa) and it seems to me they are over stalled and not as efficient as I would personally like. But, i'm mostly a 6 speed guy I might be full of ****..lol

My buddy went through the same thing. Cost him two transmission rebuilds and lots of down time. He ended up going with a PI converter second time around and has not had a problem since!
