WTF , gteran1 - i honestly was thinking they put all stock components in it as well for the past 2 months, my tranny only lasted for 4 months and i only ran it hard like 5 times racing my buddys f-250 and the first run it started acting up. ill be right behind you on the lawsuit to buddy . it just ticks me off cause i dont have the time to remove my tranny here at my home due to my neihbors complaining on me and my darn truck dont fit in my garage

    man im tellin ya go see mike. he just built my allison. He had great turnaround even stayed late on a friday to finish it up for me and get parts from the other side of Houston so it could be done in time. i had 70 miles on it maybe before it went to the track the first time and its never skipped a beat if you take it back to these fools they are going to claim u broke it, then even if you dont have them rebuilt it you will still be paying them to look at it. Do yourself a BIG favor, never go back and take it to century. they will treat you right

    There are much more knowledgable ppl who design these shiftkits to work correctly, there isn't any reason to change the function or installation of a good shiftkit.
    "own shift kit " lol.

    btw, i only use the transgo HD 2 shiftkit, works everytime and shifts great with a vette servo added.

    good luck guys,

    just took my truck in monday , had it out with him. i have to give him a chance to honor his warranty before beeing taken to court. otherwise he can just say " well i would have fixed it if he brought it back" in court and there goes my case. i believe in any buisness you have 3 chances to resolve an issue before the customer can request a refund for work. this is #3 for him, i had to pay $350 for him to remove it and install it plus he exteneded my warranty to a 1 yr instead of 6 months. just went through my reciepts, 3-18-10 rebuilt, 4-15-10 returned to fix the shifting issue, 6-21-10 returned for another rebuild. lol come on now, 3 months geez. well we will see whats up, SOPPOSE to pick up the truck today.

    Gteran- if tranny goes out on me then we need to get together in court or something against this guy, i already have all my paper work ready including a copy of this thread just incase i need to go to court.

    WOW , well i picked up my truck and the tranny is sopposably "fixed" ,well drove it and my truck is not boosting 10psi at all and feels like theres horrible lag and only pushes 5psi-6, went right back and he said he thought it felt slugish , i said "yes because it is , what did yall do to it"? he says nothing just the transmission , i checked all my vaccum lines,turbo and intercooler piping and all, still not running ANYWHERE near or close to the way it did, i then called him and asked if he flashed or messed with my computer and he says no we did not and we dont even have the equipment to flash a computer, whats going on here? is it possible he messed with my computer or erased my tune from nelson performance??

    Oh wow, I would be raising some serious hell after that. Are there any exhaust leeks? Maybe they didnt put it back together correctly if they had to take the exhaust off to pull the trans.

    well i just noticed a exhuast leak , but its not that bad or even noticable at idle or slow driving, but on the freeway with the windows up it sounds pretty bad
