Well as you all know I broke my tranny at the track. If you missed out there is a thread dedicated to it with lovely pictures and all. So I had to decide what to do. I was thinking of sending it to TRE/Shep to get a nice build-up but decided I was kind of on a budget and didn't have the money to blow on that. So I decided to take it to Trent at RevHard INC.
So I took it down there and he took it apart in front of me so i knew exactly what was wrong with it. He took it apart like he's done it a billion times (which I'd expect) and pin-pointed the problem in no time...not like it was hard with the missing teeth and all.
He called TRE for parts, quoted me the price and I went on my way. I took it to him on a Monday, he didn't get the parts till Monday or Tuesday that following week. Then it was done by Wednesday. He called me to tell me it was done and everything went smoothly. So I went down that Friday and picked it up. Got to see the Twin Engine talon and the beginning stages of the Dyno being put together. Was pretty funny to see a few middle aged men putting together a huge toy lol.
Anyway I got the tranny in FINALLY with some difficulties on the way (clutch fork and pivot ball), but never-the-less it's in. I only have around 70miles on it but it's MUCH better then before. It used to be notchy in 2nd,3rd and sometimes 4th. Now it's not notchy in any gear and shifts nice and smooth. It took some miles to get things loosened up but once I put about 50miles on it she felt great.
All in all my experience with Trent and RevHard was pretty good to say the least. He opened the tranny in front of me so i knew 100% what was wrong. He called for parts in front of me and quoted me while I was standing there. Then rebuilt the tranny within a week even though the shop had A LOT of stuff going on. The shop is also very nice.....full of DSMs too lol.
Anyways...that's about it. I was going to take pictures of everything but I just wanted the shit done and in so i said screw it. You all know what a clean tranny looks like. Not much to see.
