I Love This Tranny!!!!

[theboogieman]

Thanks again to John and his crew at IPT for making my tranny better than it was the first time they did it!!! Seriously, I thought it kicked ass before, but now it is just simply awesome in the shifts!! Damn the drive home to PA was fun.

Some of you all know I had my tranny fully built from John awhile back...and I loved it, but then I got used to the shifting and wanted to step up the pressure alot (went conservative with spring rates the first time). I still wanted a firmer shift than what was already done plus John had a couple other things he wanted to do.

Well today after driving it all I can say it whatever you did worked GREAT John!! This thing shifts like my buddies EVO with a 2600 ACT installed easily!! I think this will take some getting use to but it sure is nice to have such a firm shift like this. This blows away the last round of mods you did to it. Man I am impressed!! The gear rocks too.
So let me quit ranting, I just wanted to say to anyone listening that you will not go wrong with these guys at IPT. And a word of advice...if you are able to, then have IPT not only do the rebuild but ALSO the install. If you have to send it to them that is great but really research the shop that will be installing it for you. You live in Jersey or close by then you're lucky. I am glad I had John do it this time!
Later,
Leo

do you mind if I ask what he has done and what you paid for it?

I paid around $2800 or so. When John rebuilt this he did EVERYTHING. I told him all the options...which in turn came to around the price I said, maybe a little more. But since the first time he rebuilt it i have had a couple more extra tweeks performed by IPT like the addition to some resistors and testing on some new clutches. I am one of the guiniea pigs for John with some new ideas for our trannies. And so far all I can do is praise this shop, their work and their customer service. I fell this car shifts as well if not better than any 5 speed and it shift VERY firm. Right on the money every time whether I do it manually or let the car do it itself.
