I just wanted to pass on a recent transaction I had with Dana at Pro-Built.
I am having a few difficulties with my 700 r4 and spent some time with him on the phone. What a great guy! He took a huge amount of his time to help me out. I then ordered via online a shift kit from him. Being the cruddy typist I am I did not install the correct credit card number and for some reason the transaction still cleared. Dana called me on the problem and we played the usual phone tag. I left a message that I would fix the problem which I thought I did. I received my shift kit and another phone call. The card still didn't work! This time it was lack of balance.
My point is HE STILL SENT ME THE PARTS! He was very polite on the phone despite three efforts to charge the card, amazing.
I went with Pro-Built because reviews here on Third Gen were favorable. I absolutely agree!!! Great service and I sincerely apologize to Dana for the problem.
Credit cards I hate them but I live in an area that has no suppliers of anything and I wind up having to online shop. As a result sometimes this happens. At least for parts at this point PRO-BUILT definetely is.

Hes a good guy.

Very smart and knowledgeable.

He worked with Jimmy of Jimmy's Transmission back in the day on developing some of the first hard parts for the 700r4 and 200r4.

He actually told me to take my trans to him since he was close enough for me to deal with.

Always willing to share info with you and help u out in a jam.

Besides, whos gonna know your trans better than people that help develop hard parts for them.

How good is the Pro Built 700R4 with the vette servos and .500 boost? I was going to put that behind the 383 I want to build. Do you think it will hold and last?

I'd highly reccomend the billet servos. - also a torque drive package for a 383 car...

Dana was a HUGE help to me when I was doing my trans.

I bought a complete rebuild kit from him early in 05, and needed advice from him on a couple of different parts of the rebuild. It was my first time EVER with an entire automatic trans taken apart and he didn't give me any crap at all about not knowing the answer to even what (to him) were probably really easy questions.

I haven't installed the trans yet, it's sitting in my Dad's garage waiting for the 383 that I will be building in the spring...

I just hope that it holds

Dana is AWESOME.

I bought my rebuild kit from him over a year and a half ago. He didnt hesitate to spend 15 minutes on the phone with me the other day on how to diagnose my problem. He goes way out of his way to make sure you are happy and he puts out damn good products. I canot say enough good things about this guy.

Hell, he also called the guy building my transmission and told him some tips and tricks on how to build my transmission the way he does.

I was really impressed with Dana. I haven't got my shift kit in yet so I will let you know how it works out. Over the holidays I have a couple weeks of vacation that will just fit setting up the trans. I have never done one before so it will be interesting. Wish I could give you more about how the kit works but it's not in yet.

i was thinking about one of these. does he charge the same amount for these as he does on the website? i dont know if i can drop 1500-1600 bucks on one, but i know they are the best.

also, did you have to pay shipping? and did you get and kind of tgo discount? i really want one, but theyre just so expensive.

well for that price i might as well think about the t56 swap too. also, i found an art carr setup, the 800hp one, with a nice 10 inch 2800 converter, lokar dipstick and tv assembly, and b&m supercooler, locally, with like 2000 miles on everything for about 1000. art carr is one of the top brands out there, the setup new costs almost 3 grand!

Looks good, let me know if we can make a group purchase.

id be up for something like that. we should put the idea in the tranny section if pro built would agree to that. plus were all third gen members here

I bought my 700R4 and Vigilante from him, too. Besides the fantastic feedback here at TGO concerning his transmissions, he was also great to talk to. He talked to me for a really long time about what I should choose and never tried to sell to me. He's just one of the good sellers out there that really want to help you out and make sure you are 100 % satisfied.
