Thumbs up Got more parts today to complete my 10sec street car project

After all the frustration and disappointments...I got the Tranny and T-case back from Shep today.( After 4 weeks! )

I bought the HTA35R on Dec.14 I was ready to install it just need to buy injectors when my Tcase started to leak and my Tranny started to grind and can't shift to 5th gear which I didn't care at all since Im installing a new clutch(Exedy Twin HD) and it will be one time labor fee.

So I then go ahead and send my Tcase/tranny to Shep. After 5 days Shep called me and said" Vin your T-case is ready where's the Tranny??" I got shock when he said that!!! So I called FEDEX and found that it got lost and they will just give me 100 bucks coz I didn't insure it
so I called FEDEX again and told what happened and they blamed on me they said I didn't pack it good!

After 7 days Shep called me and said that Fedex Called and they found a box with a ripped label with their name on it and said that it will be delivered on Monday(which is after 3 days) When Shep received it he emailed me and said that the Tranny is damged! Fedex cracked the housing and other stuff of the tranny! Until now I haven't got the 100 bucks.

This is why I was thinking of selling my HTA35R because I paid more than I expected to rebuilt my Tranny! Now I just want to keep it and install it after I broke everything in. I still need 1000cc injectors and Buschur double pumper.

I'd like to thank JOHN SHEPHERD for his never ending support and help me to get my Tranny back into one piece! I was gonna buy a new one but he never gave up on me in fact my Tranny is way much stronger than a new one.
I could have bought AEM EMS and JUN CAMS but because of the damaged I just have to wait for now.

Thanks to Fighter's Garage! ww.fighter's-garage.com

Thanks to Carlos of SCtuned.com for giving me the best price for the clutch and Hawk pads.

Thanks to Buschur(Jarod, Nick and David) for answering my PM's and making my Nice piece of Art BUSCHUR HTA35R here!!!

Here's some pictures as you can see its dated just incase FEDEX Damaged it I have a proof!




























few updates.









Thanks to Nick@Buschur and DB for answering all my questions in PM's

Got it today! Buschur HTA37R


















FEW MORE PICS BEFORE:

No, a local shop (Fighter's Garage) will be doing it for him. They are a good group of guys over there.

Hey Vin,
I am glad you got everything straightened out. I wish all my parts were new haha.
