Default Huge bowtie overdrives order issue *help anyone*

Anyone have a problem with them before? I put my order in for a 2004R and some other stuff and the total came out to be about $2100... I entered all my info and when I checked the order price out later it came out to be a sub total of $3665!

All the stuff I ordered is listed as (1) item and the total I got from that is only $2088... so that means shipping and tax is $1600? I called an left a message but they wont be open till the morning... any help?

I got my 700r4 from them a few years ago with no major problems. They have a good reputation.

God bless, Sensei

Ill have to get back to them as soon as they open... which will be 11am here. I get to run to good old Navy Dental to get my teeth cleaned *cringe* I took out enough money in my acct so they cant charge me the $3600. I will have to call them and get the order straightened out, call Navy Fed and get the order amount approved and then call them back and tell them they can charge my card. Long list of stuff to do but I really would like this 200-4R

You didn't order two trannys, did you?

Seriously though, the $2100 sounds about right. I bought my 200R4 from them, good company to work with, and they will get the problem straightened out

Well I finally got it resolved. They said their system sometimes goes crazy and does that. It did actually put two transmissions on there but only showed one on my end. They where extremely helpful in getting me the right parts.

Just a quick question. Did you reuse your older transmission cooling lines and everything or did you install a new system. I didnt order new lines as they said I could re-bend the new ones but I dont want to void the warranty or anything. I already have the install kit on the way. Hopefully it all gets installed and holds up the the yearone crate I got going in it

You should be able to use them again. Just be sure you flush them and you cooler (on radiator) Next week I am swapping my trans with my streetfighter trans I have new in box.
