    Performabuilt transmissions

    what do you guys think of them? anybody has past experiences with them, good or bad? They are kinda close to me which is i guess maybe an advantage even though i was thinking FLT, but it would be much easier.....

    I know plenty of ppl that have had good success with them in the houston area. I personally run FLT, but PB has some good trannies as well

    Obviously my opinion is biased. Personally I do know they do not put the amount of work nor the amount of parts in their units like we do. I would look closely at the build sheets between the two and make your decision from there. You will find we give you the most for your money. Vince

    ^ i think you do too, however my only thing is they are maybe 45minutes to an hour from my house across the PA line which i suppose is an advantage.

    TX and Blue I think I remember you guys having an issue shortly after your installs. I know they have great customer service but you should not have to be fixing new transmissions. Good to hear they are working for you now. Vince
