I know a number of C5ers & F-bodies are happy with the FLP, but can't find anyone using Yank. :confused:

I believe Tom Hall had YANK do his A4. You might want to get in touch with him and find out what he thinks. I know he really kicks the crap outa it with sticky tires and lotsa juice :)

Were are looking at FLP, however, a factor will be turnaround time & availability.

Anyone have Tom's email?

I have heard nothing but good things about FLP, but for me it is also an issue of availability.

Just received an email from Norris Motorsports. He called FLP & they didn'y call back. I have sent FLP emails & never received an answer. :confused:

Yes, I have the Yank Tranny with the PY 3600 Extreme Converter. I haven't had it long enough to say about the longevity, but so far everything has been fine. Mike does have cores to build, that way you don't tie up a lift.
I got the heavy duty model and when driving normal the 1-2 shift is a little on the hard side, but I don't mind.

Hello Paul!

Mailed Chuck and got response within some houres :).
Didn´t expect it to run other than that.

Chuck@FLP DID try to mail you back, but your mailadress had an erreor and the mail came back.
I have a copy of that mail and it is true!!!

Shoot me a mail and I´ll forward it to you.

Chuck does very good service and builds a bullet proove tranny.

If anyone else has problems to rech Chuck, shoot me an email and I´ll get it through to him. You`ll all see, to get fast response from him.
