When I ordered a 2004R from them I specifically asked for a GN trans with the BRF valvebody. Was assured I would get it. Trans came in, was 45-50 days later before I had time to install it. When I unwrapped it I discovered the wire connector was not GN specific, so I removed the pan and it had no BRF valvebody. Upon calling to advise that I didn't get what I ordered I was told since it was after the 30 day warranty period to return it for a $400 refund, but, i had to pay shipping back plus pick up the shipping tab for when it was sent.
Not wanting to settle for a $700 loss, I installed it anyway to discover the pump was bad. Car is still undrivable.
Go figure.

I had a problem with MonsterMotor Sport. I put in 3 transmissions from them, all within nine months, had trouble with all, from blowing out the front seal to locking up,and 
flare shifting . When I ordered the trany I told them it was for a t-type turbo they assured me it would work fine," they build them for the GN & T-Types all the time no problem" .After all was said and done the tech told me he knew the GN trany was different and could not get cores to rebulid so they just sold me anything that said 2004r.After a bit of time,a few phone calls I finally got a refund minus a 10% restock fee. I do not recommend purchasing a transmission for a GN or T-Type per my experience from this company.They tried...they failed

I have read many posts from many board members..... that are totally satisfied with his tranny's for their turbo Buick's.
