Default RPM transmission rocks

Just wanted to say that this was a great experience.

I have not had reverse for about a year in my 97. Finally decieded to take care of it. Called and talked to Jeremy and he made me a great deal on the Level V trans. Was looking at a level IV but he made the level V worth moving up to. I drove up from St. Louis and had the car there at 8 am Monday. They have just moved into there new shop and it is an amazing place. Used to be an old theater for plays that they converted. Great sound system in the shop area. TJ gave me a quik tour and introduce me to Wes who was doing the install. Wes got the whole trans changed out in about 3 1/2 hours and if it wouldn't have been for me wanting to change my fuel filter, cause it was so easy to get to I would have been on the road at noon, but no one could get the filter to them till 1:00.

Thought I would included a couple pictures for your viewing pleasure

While in there I asked Wes if he could check the drives shaft couplers. Guess that was the smartest thing I did. He installed new ones.

Well that's about it, just kudos to RPM. Great guys and great service and now a trans that goes in reverse and shifts like BUTTA.. Trans was built by Guff in the shop didn't want to leave him out. While there also had them put the Pfadt trans brace in too. Plan on giving it all a good work out this weekend at Heartland Park/Topeka
