Does Brian have installers on the west coast? or Where in SoCal is this "JW" some of you are talking about??? Going to try and drive it into SoCal this Tuesday (no trailer) but need to find a good west company, or I will just leave it at the house in SoCal and come back out next month and resuce it and put it on a trailer and tow it back to Arkansas to BTS.
Thanks for any help and info in advance.
Hey what others said about where John wood is located...further..I am not far from john woods' shop at all. Let me know if i can be of any assistance...IE ride, bringing the trans somewhere. I go out near his shop all the time to ride, hit the desert,etc. I also got a car hauiler trailer. I know when my trans went limped it all the way there in second and third gear with slippage, every warning light on the dash on (not really)

If you do go with BTS, there are some shops i know of around here (one's an awesome ford dealer in the inland empire) that will install his unit.

GOod luck!
