Default DRM.... Is a CLASS Act, but I knew that!!!

Last race weekend of the season and the car won't shift
I went out to do some qualifying laps and started to find hard shift points. In the main race after things got warmed up the car would hardly shift at all and I could only limp my way through 2/3 of the event to get a few race points..... Missed the final race of the season but that's not why I'm writing this.
It's DRM (Doug Rippie Motorsports) Doug and crew did the clutch when building the motor over 20 months ago, that's 2 seasons of TT and w2w. Doug called the manufacture and supplier, he sent a few pics of the old clutch and presto!!! Everyone stood behind it, I was told that should never have happened in the first place..... wow I was not expecting this at all..... THANKS Doug!!!
To top it off the new clutch is beefier and better design with little out of pocket for me.
If anyone is in the market for a stand up shop and a crew that knows Corvettes in side and out give DRM a call.... tell them G sent ya

Here is a pic of the busted clutch

It's refreshing when a manufacturer stands behind their product. I'm sure DRM's actions on your behlf were a big help.

I had a similer positive experience with a set of rotors from DBA and they made good on a set of that failed. Actions like this sure solidify customer loyalty!

DRM is the best. Good to see manufacturer stand behind product for them.

I can't say enough good about DRM! Randy and Doug have been a great help over the years and ALWAYS go the extra mile. Even being in a different area of the country I still prefer to use DRM. It's hard now to find a shop you can trust however it's great when you do find one.
