Mines been good so far. Steves a great guy and the customer service is one of the best!
Had a trans from CK burn up in a few thou miles and I had just bought a brand new Pats convertor.
Not wanting to put the convertor full of crap in the new trans I contacted Steve.
He asked me to send it back and he would cut it open and clean it and inspect the clutch and replace the lining if needed.
He recieved it cleaned, replaced the lining and raised the stall a few hundred more rpms at my request and then sent it back all of this for FREE!
I did have to pay to send it back to him but he took care of all the rest inc return shipping back to me.
As far as performance I think its great, not flashy or loose. No complaints so far ..knock on wood.

Any idea what kind of slippage you get at the end of the track? If you have direct scan or the power logger what is the engine rpm at say 100 mph indicated on the vss? And what is a typical et for you? Thanks.

Never had a chance to test it on the current setup and the current trans has a 1-2 shift issue (I built this one tho).
With my stock trans flaring the 2-3 she would run 12.18-12.20 at 109-110 pretty constant unlocked on the stock d5.
Cant run it at the track with the 1-2 shift prob so cant say yet.
I would hope the conv would be close or better than the stock unlocked d5.
