Good to know, I don't think I have heard of a bad thing about them yet. I was considering ordering that kit, but one of the main issues is that if I order it (to Canada) and I get a shop to put it in, where does the warranty issues fall if something does happen? They blame it on the parts and the other side may blame it on the technician. This just hypothetical of course. Also is there some sort of instructions in the kit with the extra transgo kit with the changes done to it? Anybody else see my point?

The kit I got I am very pleased with it. Well if its a parts failure then the mfg of the parts should make it good, if its an installation error then they should cover it. The kit comes with the highest of quality part, so that should not be an issue. My tranny guy loved the set up and he builds stuff for all the NSCA, NMCA guys. He did say the transgo kit was a pain in the *** but looked like a great unit. My personal oppinon is I love the thing, low throttle it shift like a caddy, mid throttle it starts to bump, and WOT then thing BANGS. I think the most important thing is to find a tranny shop that knows there stuff. I dont think you will be disappointed with it.

I have to be nit picky here...sorry Dana but...
My only complaint...

Transmission was delivered by a logistics company COD for $175. While I appreciate the fact it was delivered to my door we never discussed this, I would have rather picked it up from the airport and saved myself around $100. If this would have been mentioned I would have requested just shipment, not delivery.

Just something to keep in mind

I have ordered the kit and it costs $486.34US. It has almost been two weeks because he sent it mail (Canada) so it would be cheaper. It should be on its way because my card was billed $608 CAN. Hopefully there won't be too much more for cost, except for the GST tax.

I ordered a TH350 a while back. They don't usually do these since they specialize in 700 R4, but Dana hooked me up with one. It has worked good, but I asked him for a spec sheet, like what kind of beefed up performance components were used and I never got it. Small think I guess, but Id like to have it if I was to every sell it, all I can say is TH350 GOOd!!
