For the naysayers

What would be nice is to see how many each builder has had there transmissions sent back because it failed ? Also how many are BRF transmissions on the builds?

Total number of failures will tell you nothing unless you also know the total number of units built and the exact usage of EACH unit.

A guy building transmissions for 9 second cars SHOULD see more failures than the builder doing them for 12 second cars.
Even if they are on top of their game, a 9 second ride puts considerably more stress on a unit than even an 11 second car.


BRF is also not improtant as far as I am concerned. Several of the builders on here have learned how to either mimic BRF calibration or improve upon it as far as the valve body.

There is a wealth of knowledge on here. It USED to be a place to share tech, talk shop a bit, meet others in the industry.
Sometimes heated discussions but a bunch of good tech and different viewpoints presented.

A guy who caters almost entirely to the TurboBuick community will do more BRF units than a guy who builds for mostly retrofits.
I fall somewhere in the middle of that, I would guess a couple of the builders here do more BRF units.

I personally will sell a BRF VB to use a different one that I feel works better all around.

TTYPE6,You want me to quote and you still havent answered why you voted for Dave in the who built your trans poll and he didnt build you a trans?

Please quote me where I said my experience with Dave was through a phone call or Email.

I voted for Dave and Bruce because their teachings,when applied by me, fixed my third gear problem. I know Brian builds a good trans from my conversation with him on the phone. I know Lonnie builds a good trans from what Dave has told me about his procedure. I had to give credit To Bruce and Dave because without them I wouldn't have been successful. I couldn't vote for Lonnie and Brian because I fixed my trans before I talked to or heard about them. I couldn't bring myself to vote other(me) because Dave and Bruce deserved to be recognized for their help.

However I would like to recognize you for some very good name calling.

Is this the answer that you say I didn't give?

Also a tough question to answer as not everyone goes back to the original builder when there are problems either.
I am also FAR from an amateur when it comes to all type of transmissions manual and automatic,I have been in the transmission industry since 1986.While I have not been working strictly on transmission since 96. I worked soley as a tranmission builder for those 10 years and have still kept up with it up to this day.
Come to my shop now and you will see 2 -2004Rs,and racing AOD Ford,and Audi TT 6 speed,and a Evo 6 speed also.

Thank you for your response , I am not trying to get in the middle of all this just wondered ? Also It would make sense to over build a transmission to make sure it will last? Say the customer wants a high 10 car would you build it for a mid to lower 10?

TTYPE6,You want me to quote and you still havent answered why you voted for Dave in the who built your trans poll and he didnt build you a trans?Youve got your quote ,and as far as any statements he made to me about the parts ,I dont carry around a tape recorder.He also stated all of the guys on the forum building these transmissions are amatuers.Wrong statement to make,there are a whole crew of bright people here who dont just know how to build 2004rs and who make this area their lives work.This is not a bunch of people who just came along,sorry.A goldmine of trans info is on this forum ,probably more than anywhere else.I dont come on here to get involved in a soap opera,but their certainly are those who enjoy this type of girlie ****.If you want to talk nonsense go get a milkcrate and stand on top of it in the middle of times square and blow your lungs out,and if you like to listen to nonsense and are not motivated enough to leave the house and listen to the guy on the milkcrate ,turn on your tv to the soap network and make yourself smile.

It sounds like your saying it's OK to accuse someone of saying something without evidence as long as you can catch someone else in a lie. Boy I'd like to see that used as a defense in a court of law.
Can someone help me find the quote from Dave where he states billet parts aren't needed period or ever? It's supposed to be somewhere on this page.

It's a good thought. I just think jakeshoe gave a good answer.

Come on Otto,no one is calling you an amateur. Please don't perpetuate another unsubstantiated statement. I hope I speak for,at least,most of us when I say,I'm sure you're a reliable and responsible and accomplished transmission builder.

Every one of your posts shows your washwoman personality coming to the surface.Your not looking for tech info .You are an instigator looking for "koutsoboulika".If Flynt is that boring contact your local cable company and order the SOAP NETWORK.I think this will make you happy again.

Wow!,you start a rumor,with no quote to substantiate it, about Dave Husek, a supporting/dues paying vendor in this community, a rumor that makes him look foolish and could possibly hurt his business and good name,and then use a word like koutsoboulika while pointing your finger at me. Do you think you're the only one who knows what this word means?

Still waiting for a quote from the instigator who started this unsubstantiated rumor.
Once we get this quote,you will be vindicated and I will have egg on my face. Until we get this quote,this scenario will be reversed.

PS. Excellent name calling in English and Greek.

Like it or not,Don,you have jumped on the band wagon of people accusing someone of saying,in writing,that billet parts are unnecessary. They're not accusing someone of saying billet parts aren't needed in this situation or to prevent that from happening. They're accusing him of saying billet parts aren't needed ever/period.
Your statement,and I quote " The fellas that are saying that billet parts are unnecessary just haven't had enough experience yet. " shows that you have chosen to believe that some people have made the blanket statement that billet parts are unnecessary. You've chosen to believe this without proof of written or recorded words. You've simply followed the crowd without gathering the facts. Who hasn't been guilty of this before? You've also decided to believe that this person or persons haven't had enough experience yet. What facts do you base this on?

Let's go back to the beginning of your wild suspicions here. This is getting very wierd. I want to know what is behind all this. You say I stepped into the middle of something. OK. I want to know what this something is, and you are elected to explain it to me!
I get the feeling that you think I was referring to a particular individual. Is this true? Who is 'someone'? Who is 'him' in your above quote?
Who do you think I was referring to when I stated 'fellas'?
Are you truly going to state to me that you have never talked to someone who told you that they felt that billet parts were not necessary in a 200-4R? I'm not talking about lately. I'm talking about EVER.

 

[chris718]

your right

Dang, is this the reason no one from CK has called me back about shipping my transmission? Something I have 2500 invested in and didn't work right when I received it. Nevermind, I'd rather deal with someone who takes time with customers and not name calling on the Internet. This crap has gone on too long. In the end, if your product is good people will respect that and advertising and word of mouth will suffice.

Well I figured when this was posted it would turn into this...

To ease the enquiring this is not a Dave Hussek trans...

I hope everyone can see this was not cool, the way it went down...

I am seriously considering dropping a vendor over this
