TRE doesn't use dog gears in his trannies, but SHEPTRANS does

Only issue I have with TRE is getting in touch. Sometimes its easy. Sometimes its like a black hole. Thats been my experience.

Buschur Racing does tranny builds, they're in OH, which probably isn't too far from you.

I have a lot of experience with TRE, the transmissions are great, but sometimes shipping times and getting ahold of Jon are a pain. He is basically a one man operation and I can understand that for sure.

With that being said, Buschur trans have done very well and their turnaround time is excellent from what I've seen and heard.
