It could be summed up with a simple:

This post may get a tad long winded, but here we go...

Last season, I knew my trans was getting weak. With everything that I had done to my car, I was actually surprised that it was still holding up. At the end of last season, my mod list was as follows:

9" K&N cone, N* TB, Triple Edge Performance/trannyman95 ported blower, 3.2" pulle, ZZP shortstack IC, self-ported LIM, LS6 valvesprings, S1X cam, pacesetters, no cat, and a 75 shot of giggle juice.

That netted me a 12.93@112 on street tires, which I guess is not bad considering it was on street tires with a beat-ass trans.

I upgraded to a fullsize/S2 intercooler, and dropped to a 2.9" pulley for this season, and now have a niiicely built trans. I got all the standard stuff that Dave does for his builds + 3.29 single chain upgrade, and an Intense input shaft.

I made the 4 hour trip out to Ft. Wayne this morning with a friend of mine to pick the car up, and all I gotta say is... hooooly ****. The shifts are VERY quick, but not neck jarring. The 1-2 shift is nuts. Chirping the tires at the 1-2 shift at WOT is something that is awesome, but will take a touch of getting used to. I was so used to having sloppy, weak shifts, I had no idea what to expect when first driving a car with a built trans.

Dave went above and beyond the call in inspecting items on my car which were not related to the trans, and suggesting and offering to repair/replace them. These included LCA bushings, trans mount, and my stock-cracked-like-every-other-stock-sway-bar.




After a week with Dave, my car now shifts like it always should have and the handling is tighter than it ever has been. Well worth the money, and I now have a car that I can depend on.

Thanks again Dave! You rock!

ps... if anybody wants to see some pics of my old beat-ass trans that Dave took, let me know and I will post them up.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

The only limitation you will ever face in life is yourself!

I cant wait to come up in the Spring to have Dave install my shift kit and do a good once over on my current tranny. A complete tranny overhaul is not in this season's budget, but maybe next

Ya, changing from stock to those 3.29's was a sure wake up of these transmissions, I thought everyone was blowing smoke up my butt, bragging about them, then when I switched over to them...they really do hate street tires. LOL

Dave's the man for sure! Were very lucky to have him in and on our forums.

So Dave...Whens that green snake car going to show up for his transmission?

~F~

I've got a Trannyman special in my car too (though the previous owner got to make the trip and spend the dough LOL!). I agree with everything said above. The trans is awesome to say the least. The 1-2 shift is badass and the 3.29's are joy for me but not for tires. LOL! Not to mention that when I've had questions, Dave has always been ready to answer them and a pleasure to talk to. I truly would not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but have been a part of GTPworld for a long time.... I own a 2000 GTP. 3.4 pulley with SLP heades and cat-back, zzp pcm ect... I'm at a 165,000 miles

I know within a year or so I'm probably going to be in the market for a transmission and trannyman seems to come highly reccomended.

with that said, I have a question on my mind. How many of you actually have his transmissions and have a significant amount of miles on them? I see he warrenties them for 6 months or 6,000 miles. I drive +1,000 miles a month and would kill that pretty fast.

Has anyone had one fail at all? and for what reason if so?

I have close to 15K on a tranny he did gears and reworked for me when at the same time he did my cam install.
