sorry didnt know how to double quote in one post.

I didnt go woth cryo gears because at the time i didnt have that kinda of money and he said it takes about 3-4 weeks. I really couldnt go that long with out my car just because i didnt want to hitch rides and rent a car for a month. I sent it out to him last thursday got there on monday and he called me on thursday and shipped it out friday. If that makes any sense.

My tranny and t-case is there as we speak. I am doing a full build with rem/cryo in both the tranny and t-case. Also installing a Mitsu LSD since the Quaife is backordered for about a month.

I've driven a shep trans before and it's nothing like the stocker, smooth as butter.

When i was at his shop on wednesday let me tell you what i saw... On the left side nothing but transmissions, then on the left to middle side a lot of tcases. lets just say hes got a lot of work, BUT atleast he is taking his time and doing the quality work he has always been known for!

He also asked me about future mods and where i wanted to be in terms of HP in the future . After we agreed that the 800 set up was the best one for me, i shipped my transmission out to him. Well a few days later he gave me a call saying the whole thing was in ALOT worse shape then he thought . He took me through several options of what i could do and kept the cost as low as possible. He also replaced a few things that he had to go out of his way and get and gave me an awesome deal. He kept me updated with several phone calls on the status of my transmission and told me exactly what he was doing. Once my tranny was done today he borught me through everything again made sure we agreed to the terms. After i agreed he took payment and gave me my tracking number! Man i cant wait to get it.

So a huge thank you to john and everybody at shepherd transmission who helped out, you guys are very very professional and stand up guys.

Not only is his customer service the best in the buisinmess but when you get the trans back you will swear he put a BMW trans in there it will shift so smoothly

Shep trans is the best !

+1. Shepherd hooked up my trans real nice. The rebuild was worth every penny. Great customer service. He really went out of his way to help me out.

I had him rebuild my Old GSX transmission, and he is by far the best. Have never heard anything bad about him, and I would recommend him to anybody needing help with there transmission or T-case.

Mine is at the Rem and Cryo place now, he said he should have it back next week and finish it up so could have it next Friday or beginning of the following week.

$800 for a rbld is cheap so don't feel bad it went over the phone estimate. I did my DSM 5 spd myself and spent ~$600 in parts at 30% off list. This was for all new bearings, synchros, shims, etc, and no gears. The parts are not cheap, but not ridiculous- they just add up.

Thats awesome to hear some feedback about Shep's work and service. If my tcase or trans ever goes out...he's definitely going to get my business.
