I have been very patient ,but after 2 years and $6000$+ and not even 1 clean pass with my new trans I would like to put some closure to this and move on.
I sent my Broken T/C to PTS October 2003 and have not heard anything about it . It was to be repaired and returned to me as we (Bruce and Myself)had agreeded.
Here is how the T/C saga started .....In AUG of 2003 I sent my NON billet 9X11 T/C for and upgrade to The billet 9x11 because the T/C clutch would not hold under WOT, even though at the time I purchased it I was told the T/C clutch on the 9x11 would hold for a high 9's second pass ,it didnt so I needed to upgrade , I was very clear the T/C needed to be done by OK Buick /Ford shootout on Oct 25,2003.
I was repeatadly lied to by PTS as to the status of my T/C delivery date (needed before Oct 25)and lied to about the backup T/C that was to be shiped overnight . I REPEATADLY asked about both my T/C and the back up (plan)T/C for several weeks prior to the Biggest race of the year ,I was told not to worry my T/C would be done(@TCS) in time ,just waiting on a brg or a washer and even if that one didnt get done The plan was to ship me a T/C (not mine)overnight from PTS that was ready to go now , I belived this and did not even try to locate a T/C on my own.
Contacted PTS(as I did everyday) the day before the Race,Bruce tells me the T/C is not ready , I say ok what about the backup Plan ,Bruce doesnt know what I am talking about , advise Bruce I was told there was a T/C boxed up and ready to be shiped to me If TCS did not get mine ready ,Bruce isnt sure why one of employees would say that . I told him that we had disscussed this several times in a two week period and it was very clear what had been discussed relating to a backup plan if TCS did not get my T/C ready .I am left out to dry, no T/C !!!!!The race I waited for all year is in 24 hrs and I dont have a T/C .
Bruce tells me to find a T/C from anyone I can and if it is one of his he will rebuild it to new specs , after a few phone calls I score a PTS 9x11 T/C for 400.00 , only problem it is 300 miles away ,I take off for a all night drive and return home to install the T/C and head out to the race , thats the good news , the bad news is the t/c (9x11) failed and takes out the tranny , make 3 passes (way off 10.8)
I am not really mad , I am just tired of ALL the excuses and want my T/C back , I have not heard one word from PTS about this T/C . In the 2 1/2 years I have delt with PTS I have heard every excuse from them . I dont want to call them , I just want my T/C repaired and returned to me as agreeded . They do have all my Info .
I have had dozens of transmissions built for me and cars I work on by Vince Janice and Dave Husek , almost 600 pases on my personal trans (built in 1996)before the forward clutch drum broke in the low 10's , never had any problems with any of the dozen trannies from them , never had to wait longer than a week to get one built either .As a matter of fact no one in my area has had any trans failures.
In light of other happings on the board i.e.9x11 post . 48 hrs post ect. ect . ,on this board and other TB boards . I would like to bring closure to this as soon as possable .
