One guy on here got the upgrade kit, but hasn't said anything since he received it.

I am getting a complete trans from them, with the upgrades already installed. Supposedly will be done and shipped to me the middle of this week. They claim it'll handle 600 HP. :hail:

I WILL say this though - thier customer service sucks. When they say they'll call you back...don't count on it. BOTH times they said they would call me back, they didn't, and I ended up calling them instead. And it's long distance!!

Only reason I went through with it is good feedback on quality mentioned by a couple people on the board. Hope I made the right choice!!

That worries me, if they won't call you back when you are trying to buy something how are they going to be when you have a problem with something you already bought?

It kinda concerns me too...but in all honesty, Bubba is the guy that never seems to call back. There's a couple other guys that also take calls and they seemed pretty good on the phone and answered everything for me.

I think Bubba is one of the guys that actually do the rebuilds.

I was told by the other guys when they could'nt answer a question I had, that they'd have Bubba get back to me. I ended up having to call them back twice.

Try looking through this post from awhile ago...

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=175170

They have a form you can fill out on thier website, and get info with prices. Basically, kit runs 1000 for the sych gearbox, and 1200 for dog ring. They'll install the kit in your trans for like 200 plus shipping.

If they supply trans (minus clutch/bellhousing), it'll run 1900 plus shipping. I got the Pro-5.0 shifter with it also, along with a .56:1 fifth gear.

If what they claim is true, far as I'm concerned - it's as good or better than any stock T-56 I swap in, and not much more expensive either.
