six speeds inc

I was wondering if anyone has done business with www.sixspeedsinc.com. I purchased a kit to upgrade my T56 trans, they billed me for it about a month ago. I have not received any order status or a tracking number. I have emailed them multiple times but they have not returned any.

Re: six speeds inc

I rebuilt my t56 using their parts. Shipment was quick and prices seemed fair.

Re: six speeds inc

I believe that Amber was in the hospital about to pop out a baby and she does most of the communicating with customers (emails, mag boards, etc). You'd probably be better off calling them.

Re: six speeds inc

Business is business. I have called once. I don't call Summit 3 times to check on the status of an order. My next call is to cancel unless they ship order on Monday.

Re: six speeds inc

I had the T56 in my 2000 ta built by them and could not ask for better service, a week and a half total turn around time including shipping. I had the transmision upgraded with some better parts with the rebuild, best money I have spent on the car yet!

Re: six speeds inc

If they treated you well, it must have been awhile ago. The 2 of us on this board aren't the only ones waiting for parts. When I called, it took 3 days to even find the order. It has been a month and still no parts.

I couldn't and won't recommend them to anyone. Moving my business to D&D Performance tomorrow. Tired of listening to promises they don't keep.

Can't go wrong with D&D performance. Parts are priced reasonable and very top notch service.

Just unacceptable in my book!

Good luck.. hope the parts show up! They should be giving you a credit of some sort for the inconvenience...

Re: six speeds inc

I bought one of their stage 4 trannies a few back in about November. They to 4-8 weeks to build and that was fine. Shipping was a problem, but that was Yellow Freight's fault (not my first time having issues with Yellow). I did have to talk to Amber quite a few times and we had scheduled a conference call with Yellow to discuss my dissatifaction with their shipping, but Amber ended up with a long doctors appointment. Like other's have said, she's either about to pop, or has, don't know which, but do talk with her if you have a chance. She's more than willing to work with ya. Just my experiences and

Re: six speeds inc

Feel lucky. I fell for the promises and am still waiting. Should have followed my own suggestion and canceled. Sorry but all I have heard from her is lies. Not a great way to stay in business.

Re: six speeds inc

I had the same problem took about a month to get my parts and there were some shipping problems, but they're always very nice and helpful. So I'll think about ordering from them again.
