I just got my tranny back from shep 50 miles on it so far and im very happy with it. I assumed it was going to be super notchy for the first 400-500 miles
I did a search on TRE and it seems like he has a lot return customers.... Shep doesnt have to many cause they seem to hold together much better....
Cheers!

i would say shep. i've never had to wait more than a day to get an email response from him when i had simple questions about fluids, how to remove shift selectors, if he had ring/pinion sets for the TC, stuff like that, that he really didn't have to answer as alot was just advice. also, most all the fastest drag/track evo's in the US run sheps trans. not to mention he builds the one in his 7-second full metal DSM.

I have used both. My tre tranny had some shifting issues was notchy, and was grinding in 2nd on my first event with it. I decided to change to Shep's trans, first thing I noticed was how much smoother it was to shift the car. It seemed to flow right into gear easier to allow quicker shifting. I never had an issue with Shep's trans and have been running it for a long time now. Also shep seems to communicate quicker than TRE.

I called Shep and spoke with a rep for like 10 minute, he was awesome, before we hung up I asked who it was. I sure did get a surprise when it was John Shepard, lol
My trans in my daily driver running 9.7's has been absolutely flawless and the trans in our EVO running 8.9's has too..............

First: AMS vs Buschur
Now: Shep vs TRE....
I personally went with Shep because when I called I got to talk to Shep himself. I explained what happened with my car, he discussed my power goals and recommened what I should use. Very nice guy to deal with. But its really a toss up between performance parts...There are a lot of good companies, there will be good and bad experiences with all of them.
