The cost of rebuilding my 700R4 over here in the U.K is around £1200 and so therefor its much cheaper to buy a built box from the states. Problem is that its a one shot deal and if i buy a bad transmission i'm screwed.
This guy seems trustworthy but i thought i would ask you guys ?? alternatively could any of you recommend a good transmission source

I have no 1st hand dealins with Mad-dog transmissions. Other here have. I stronly suggest running a search on the topic before making a decision.

never heard anything good about mad dog. would avoid them at all costs.
i bought form him.... installed trans and only had first/reverse, he told me to take it to a local shop and he'd pik up bill, after i had it fixed he never answered/returned my calls, left negative feedback and he refunded my money. the trans shifts ok but slips below 3200 rpms i did get my money back but the trans is crap, find someone else on here with a good reputation but not maddog

Thanks guys
I think i'll avoid him, there seems to be a bit of a bad vibe about him now that i've searched,.

MAD DOG TALKS BIG "I AM NOT A BOZO." My trans in my 57 Chevy broke after 700 miles and he has a whole list of reasons why it broke but none that affect him. NO GUARANTEE - NO WARRANTY - NO HELP!!
