Has anyone here dealt with these guys before?? http://stores.ebay.com/TranzParts1
They seem like they have a pretty solid deal on some of their transmissions.

Re: TranzParts1

Do you think it would hurt to try it out? They do have a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty, and their feedback is what is mainly drawing me in... well, along with the cheap price... I know I'll probably regret it, but if anyone has dealt with these guys please chime in.

Re: TranzParts1

ummm....they sell used parts!? Why do you think that their other stuff is cheap, they use the "good" parts from other transmissions to make one good one...I'd stay away personally...talk to Dana at Probuilt

Re: TranzParts1

They're "rebuilt" transmissions... If that's what you mean by used then yea, I guess. Would assume that the parts are brand new.

Re: TranzParts1

It might be a year warranty but..Do you have to cover the shipping when it blows up? Also whats your time worth if you have to pull it back out? I've been hearing good about pro built too..

Re: TranzParts1

I actually did buy from them, shipping was quick, only thing is, they sent the transmission with the wrong tailshaft but no problem because I have the correct one. I still have yet to actually install the transmission, so no info on whether or not these can take a beating.

Re: TranzParts1

Let me know when you put it in... I am planning on getting a 4l60e for my lsx swap... they sound good, I appreciate it! Glad to hear they had quick shipping!
