I will be sending mine to John in a couple of months. A friend of mine has one on his Talon and is very happy with it.

The Shep rebuilt trans with a TD clutch is the best shifting trans I've ever driven, and I've driven plenty of real nice cars. Its like rifle action....

and BTW its Shepherd

John is great to deal with and his work speaks for itself, he runs 7's on his trans. I think mitsubishi should have sat down with John before bringing the evo's over to the USA.

Really? Interesting. Is it like butter? Cause my stock trans shifts like crap, IMHO.

the turn around time is absolutely awesome!! the price is great! John is very helpful over the phone!! I have had my trans and tcase back in the car for over a year now and it has taken a beating and still running strong. Highly recommend Shep, and I do not know why people would use anyone else.

Shep is Great . He did my tranny and t-case. I had a problem with a slider blowing into pieces shortly after . I drove the tranny back out to him he had it back in to me no time. He stands by his work . And does a great job at it. Just look at all the fast cars running his stuff.

I like mine but my first gear still notchy. All gears shifts awesome but like what I said my 1s gear is notchy. From dead stop I have to shaken the shifter from left to the center position before I push it forward to 1st then it will shift smoothly. I thought coz it was just new but Im on 4k miles with it now. Any suggestions?
