RPM level 4 trans...experiences?
I am looking for input on the "get it right the first time" experiences. I would like to get the trans beefed up and wanted to know if anyone went this route and if it was a first time is a charm situatin with no issues.
If you had a bad first round what was the problem and how and how fast was it handled.

i have had 2 trannies built by RPM(level4). an M6 that i fried in my old C5 and an M12.
i had my little bro take the car up to him for the swap. he has a first class operation and he is a stand up guy. more importantly, his transmissions were silky smooth without any problems.
the M6 basically had 4th to 6th gears left that worked. 1 to 4 were fried. my brother drove that thing 1k miles up to Rodney's shop for a built one he had waiting for me.
after about a few thousand miles, rather than do a rear end swap, i traded my built M6 in on another built m12, also by Rodney.
both times, rodney was very fair with me with the core credit. a lot of the big name tuners contract rodney for their tranny needs cause i have seen his crated units in a few shops here
if you have problems, i dont doubt at all that rodney will take care of it

I have had transmission work as well by Rodney. I could not say enough to you about how good and proffesional Rodney and his team are. I have been at his shop a couple of times. Great shop and great products.
On my last trip to his shop he put rear gears in my car and I picked up a RPM transmission for my viper friend. We put his trans in two weeks ago and he loves the new trany.
I have not had any problems with any of his products. I feel certain that if I had any problems; Rodney and his shop would do whatever it takes to fix the problem.
