Jack got me all my parts for my tranny, I had a friend assemble it and it works great! I have also had sent a couple customers to Jack as well.

NOTE: Be patient it isnt his full time job, so email him and wait for a response. He is very busy but will get it done!

Okay I finally got my car back today and I am going to be completely honest with my review.

Jack's received the tranny on Dec 18. After a couple weeks, Jan 6 to be precise, I sent it an inquiry email to check the status. They said they hadn't started yet. I understood because of the holidays that they could be backed up and just busy. I was told it would be most likely sent out the end of that week. On Jan 16, I sent another email asking for an update..no response. On Jan 28 I receive a tracking number for the tranny. Today the shop thats doing the labor received the tranny and put it in. For customer service...I give them a below average rating.

Actual driving impressions: On the 100 miles I put on the car on the way home, this tranny felt smoother than any other time I've driven a mitsu. I had 5th gear syncro problems where it would take quite a bit of effort to pull it out of 5th...completely gone. In addition, my reverse syncro was pretty done also and it would think its in reverse..but in actuality be between 4th and reverse and grind. That was completely gone as well. I'm quite happy so far with how it feels and drives. I have a track day coming up soon so I may update this again later.

I know him personally and he does awesome work. If your looking for something comparable to a Shep build or even better, you've found the right shop. I would highly recommend having him do your work. Good luck.
