i got my tranny back on friday from shep i started installing it last night im going to finish up tonight. There customer service is awesome and jon is a super nice guy.

 

Wow that is one empty looking evo! Yes their customer service is great!

 

Little jb weld and it will be good as new

 

Pfft oil, it's overrated

 

95 days, Ouch!!

Your stuff looks stock. What happened? Alky tune gone bad?

That's a nice shiny engine stand that will hopefully soon be holding a built stroker.

I wish you well and hope your driving your car again soon.

 

ok this may be a dumb question but is shep and tre the same thing?

also for my 03 evo. what fluids will they recommend. thanks. im just over 30k miles and need to do a change. what should i change and what should i use. thanks.

 

I have a bunch of threads on the story, basically 15k miles on my 05, engine spun a bearing @ 2500 RPM on the freeway. Conrod nut backed off (improper factory torque most likely).. light mods (TBE/flash/MBC) and no boost at all during blow. Mitsu denied warranty, I picked up a beater and a second job

Damn right Thanks man.. can't wait to get back in the Evo!



ps: what the hell are you guys using to ship tranny/t-cases?? I looked for the "Pro-tuff" bins that shep lists on his site and the Walmart around me doesnt carry them at all. Home depot was basically a bust. The only thing I could find was big enough for both tranny and t-case, and that would be heavy enough to have to go truck freight. Any input??

 

The plastic bin I used to ship my tranny was big enough for both the transfer case and tranny, but I just bought a smaller bin to ship the transfer case separately and shipped the tranny in the big *** bin by itself, because it would be too much weight in one bin to do both. I just filled them both with styrofoam peanuts, but they were both wrapped in trash bags so none of the peanuts will infiltrate the various openings in the tranny/xfer case.

 

Thanks fre. Did you ship UPS? I think I've read on their website that the maximum weight allowed non-freight is 150 lbs. That is also the same for FedEx. The tranny should be 145 lbs or so by itself (I haven't weighed myself yet) so a large bin (or the one I have atleast) would weigh enough to put it into the freight range. Anyone weighed a 05 tranny recently?

 

All you rich b@stards make me sick .... want to send my stuff to Shep but it is a little out of my range right now....d@mn all of you guys

 

Just gotta work for it my man. My 40 hr/week Software Engineering job wasn't enough for my mods/fixes so I picked up an additional 20 hrs/week at a Harley shop. Only day I have off is Sunday for racing

 

I figured out what the heck is taking so long. I guess John's employee hasn't shown up for work in a few days, so eveything will most likely be a few days more than usual. At least I got an answer.
