Question Shepard Racing or T.R.E.?

T.Case punched out at 13k miles.

Which company did you go with?

How was the overall experience?

Quality of parts/labor?


Please note the details of the build.

Thanks!

I had my tranny built by TRE. I love it, by far the best mod I've done. Shifts precise and with good feedback. Plus, I got a taller final drive which makes the car more fun to drive with my level of mods. 55mph in 1st =

Really though, you can't go wrong with either shop. They are both top quality shops with top quality people working there and I would proud to say I had driveline parts from either one!

I got my DSM tranny from Shep, and my EVO tranny from TRE. They both are great places with great guys. Whichever has less shipping I guess.

If you visit TRE web site they are having a special on Ralli-Art LSD for 03-04 for only what looks to be $850.00 installed,but you shave to pay for shipping.Check it out for your self http://www.teamrip.com/Evolution.html
Seems like a Great Deal,a Christmas Special if you will

TRE rules!

I don't even have any of thier stuff but Jon is a clear indication of the quality of work that comes out of thier shop. He helps everyone whether it be on this forum or on the phone.
Their reputation speaks for itself.

I have purchased two TRE tranny's and they were great. Jon answers your questions asap and stays with you all the way!!! I have never heard anything bad from him. He even helped me sell one of the tranny's.
