Very popular with the guys here. Hit up Joshs EVO or Tobz (PM those names) if you want personal experience. From what I have seen he does amazing work.

He does all of our local trans/engine work. I have a sponsorship with Shep, but then I have Jack do all the work while also helping with diagnoses.

I have their tranny and T/C most of the high HP Evo's DSM's all use his tranny. he is a great guy. Trust me. Stands behind his work 100% I think one of the guys that work for him has a 9 sec DSM. Up here in CO that's a remarkable goal being a mile up and loosing a ton of HP to the altitude.

I think I paid like 1300 for everything to get done. The tranny can withstand like 1000hp now. Theres more than just me running his tranny here. but as far as I know I am the only guy that comes on here regulary and posts. We have a local forum most of the guys hang out in.

Great guy for sure. I will definitely throw him my business when the time comes to needing that.

He had helped me out quite a bit back in my DSM days and definitely stands behind his work 100%.

A little confused here....just read their site reguarding the 6 speed rebuild, but it seems like they upgrade you to a 5 speed with your core for only $899.

Did I read the right or whats the deal? Anyone with knowledge on this??

Incorrect. It doesn't even read that way on the site.

These rebuilds are for STOCK CARS ONLY! The EVO 6-speed is very weak and will break with a modified car. 4th gear has an issue of splitting the dog teeth ring off. For modified cars, we recommend upgrading to the 5-speed.
