Shepherd Transmisson

I was unlucky enough to blow my tranny after a recent clutch installment (which turned out not to be my fault but i wont get into that!) Anyways i shipped my transmission out to Mr. John Shepherd, for a 800 dollar rebuild. I called him before hand and he took me through each stage of tranny's they have, and which would be good for my particular HP and my driven style. He also asked me about future mods and where i wanted to be in terms of HP in the future . After we agreed that the 800 set up was the best one for me, i shipped my transmission out to him. Well a few days later he gave me a call saying the whole thing was in ALOT worse shape then he thought . He took me through several options of what i could do and kept the cost as low as possible. He also replaced a few things that he had to go out of his way and get and gave me an awesome deal. He kept me updated with several phone calls on the status of my transmission and told me exactly what he was doing. Once my tranny was done today he borught me through everything again made sure we agreed to the terms. After i agreed he took payment and gave me my tracking number! Man i cant wait to get it.

So a huge thank you to john and everybody at shepherd transmission who helped out, you guys are very very professional and stand up guys.

Nice write up. I keep hearing great things about Mr. Shepherd. That is excellent customer service IMO.

I hope you will have her for the meet coming up. Let us know your thoughts when you put it in and ran it for a bit.

Had a similar problem. John is a classy guy and runs a first rate shop. You can't go wrong with shep and any of their upgrades.

He probly didn't mean his clutch messed up his trans...my assumption would be he was probly giving his clutch an accelrated break-in and instead broke something else.

my car is there as we speak for Tcase, and tranny upgrade. John is a class act and by far the best vendor i have met in person. Stand up guy, and very fun to talk to. Not to mention this guy KNOWS what he is doing.
