Wow, that looks phenomenal. Makes me want to also send out my T-Case and Diff :O

I'll reach out to him on Insta. I already paid for Sheps shipment though.. Waiting on the box to arrive.

FWIW, Jacks did a trans for me before and it worked fine but they just spray painted the case and it looked terrible.

Well, I hope Sheps gives it a little more love than that lol.

I sent my perfectly working 6 speed to shep for several upgrades and stronger gearset... I told them I wanted all of the original parts back. They built the trans and kept all of my original parts. When I called them out about it, they told me they "threw them away"...

This was done about 7 years ago. I have only put 1600 miles on the car since then. I have had no problems (yet) but it has not seen a lot of use. This car is a garage queen that just gets worked on.

TRE is the only one that soda blasts the cases and makes them look new. They're also the only ones who've developed an improved 4th gear lubricator for the 5 speed. They also don't really have anything to hide, they're very upfront about everything they do and don't shy away from showing you what's going on.

Lack of communication can certainly be annoying but STM is no different and people still flock to them for parts.

1600 miles in seven years? I thought I was bad.

I had to find someone from TRE on instagram in order to finally get into contact with one of them.

I already paid to ship my trans out through Sheps, if i can atleast get a partial refund, i’ll take me buisness to TRE.

Just for posterity, I had Shep build my ACD Tcase with the stronger ring and pinon set and requested the stock ring and pinon back which they returned.

Hopefully shep did something to make you whole.

Update post:

Things are rolling with TRE, waiting to get the shipping box in to send the tranny out.

STILL waiting for a reply from Angela at Jack Trans.
Been over a week that she said she'll get back to me about some simple questions that I asked.
