"DR" IT will NOT happen, no way, no how. Just the kits won't get it to the level BRIAN does, (Or JW either I think) Both machine new parts for the internals, Clutch housing and several others. To MUCH Tighter tolerances than stock.

Brian asks only one thing for you NOT to do. (Other than common sense stuff, neutral drops, ect...) He asks that you do NOT go from reverse to drive without coming to a complete stop. (How most of us back out of the drive, still rolling ever so slightly backwards, and drop it in "D") HE said his are so much tighter, there is no "SLACK" for any of the parts and he would rather you didn't do it. (Have I? Sure, it's a HARD habbit to break) Would he fix it if it breaks from that,, I have every confidence he would. (Oh, and my trans is now going on something like 6 yrs old.....) In it's second truck!

YOU FIND A LOCAL SHOP who will stand behind their product, after you move it from one vehicle to another, and it's almost 4 yrs out of their "WARRANTY" if you want to call it that.. his is not a "WARRANTY" his is confidence in his product!
With a "Handshake" Better than ANY piece of paper.
