Default Bowtie Overdrives

Completed conversion from a TH350 to a 700R4. Did not purchase the transmission from Bowtie Overdrives, but did purchase everything else (cross member, wiring kit, dip stick etc). Wanted to say I probably called them 10 different times asking questions and they were always very helpful on the phone!

Seems like it is always easier to complain than to pass along positive experiences.

Good to hear when a company is good to deal with.

I am installing a BTO 2004r in mine right now and they have answered all questions I have had up to this point. Very nice to deal with on the phone. Had a few issues with output shaft and u-joints being wrong and they took care of that and gave me a return shipping label! I recommend them to anyone I talk too!
