tre or shep trans....
I agree, John S. has pioneered many things on the DSM transmissions, more than anyone else. He has also pioneered many things on the 1g DSM's for racing, he does this for himself and not for resale so many are not seen/heard of.
H*ll John doesnt even race Evo's, but Buschur does. First Evo in the 8's, and because he (john) has a 7 sec 1g, you are gonna have him do a tranny that is nothing like a 1g
I took 1st place this weekend at the Mitsu vs Subie shoot-out, and I swear on my mothers grave it was cause of my Bushwacker and Triple HD clutch that Dan recommended. This thing hits the gears like NO other trans out there.
And beleive you me... when it needs freshened up, its going back to Dan

So how is building trannys NOT Buschurs profession. If they have been doing this since 91ish.

A tranny is a tranny.... They all have the same pieces and a bolt together the same. The difference between one builder and another is the small details (cleaning up, torqueing the bolts, etc).
Hitting gears has nothing to do with how well its built.....

I seem to be hitting gears there just fine with a stock tranny. I just cant take the beating which is why it blew up on me.
I picked shep because he may not have the fastest evo, or an evo at all. I dont know nor do i care what he drives... But from my point of view it seems liek he rebuilds the most evo tranny's with the least amount of complaints...
i rather send my tranny who has done 5000 trannys with 10 complaints, than 100 trannys with no complaints. I also keep reading about people with TRE trannys that need replacment very very rarely a shep tranny
Cheers!
Do you know how flippin fast 7 secs in the quarter is? Have you ever seen shep's car launch before? Not anyone can build a transmission that can take that kind of abuse. I'm pretty sure shep is about the only man who could, or someone else would have done it by now. Putting together a transmission that can hold lots of power is not as easy as you think. I build transmissions, and they are no where near the level of shep's work. He knows all the materials secrets, every torque spec, and every free play and pre-load settings, that works in these cars, and has a much bigger staff working for him than TRE or Buschur.

Lets see, how many people out there have a thorough understanding of DSM/Evo transmissions and metalurgy. Oh yeah, everyone and their mother can do it!

He doesnt do the treatments himself....
All he does is take it apart and put it together... Its like lego's....
I cant give too much credit to car builders like that.....
Shops like buschur, ams, turbotrix, peakboost.... etc etc etc that fabricate parts from scratch that make power deserve props. Not someone who replaces parts...
I bought my evo with no evo experience and installed a ton of parts on the car the first month having it... Not very challenging.... half the shops in business do the same thing, not hard.
Cheers!
Theres sucha monoply on the market, its not worth someone doing mitsu tranny's only.

Jon Ripple (TRE) probably can't outdrive John Shepherd (Sheptrans.com), but that's not the topic of this thread.
Just look carefully at the equipment available and used to do your rebuild, the number of steps done in each rebuild, what's included in a "stage" rebuild, what other services are available, and finally, the price, and make up your own mind where the best value is for you.
The best thing for each of us is to educate ourselves on what a transmission rebuild requires, so you understand exactly what is and is not included...
We're fortunate to have several good options in the Evo community for this service.
Shep runs 7's and I can pay him to build me a tranny at a fair price. Man what a great world we live in. He's also fair, courteous, professional, and timely. My 1g shep tranny is so amazing that I want to send him my evo stuff as my first mod.

What you are saying is funny. Because John S. doesnt even run a SYNCRO trans in his car he runs a dogbox. He and a manufacturer worked together to make gears that are straight cut gears and dog teeth that still goes in a stock case. Not helical gears and syncros that are in DSM/Evo trans.
