That's strange! When I called Gear Vendor about different trans applications the adaptor was offered to me for "they said about $100" for different 4X4 trannys. This was about a year ago so I guess they may have changed policy.

OPPPPs, my bad. Saw US Gear and brain saw Gear Vendor....sorry.

thats not a monopoly. a monopoly is when you NEED the product, and only 1 company will offer it. In all honesty, its your choice to go with thier company, its just that they have developed thier product so you must buy adaptors from them, sad but true. just like a car manufacturer.

Seymor,


Which adaptor are you looking for? I have a C-6 one that I don't need, but may need to use as core for a T-400 one instead?

I feel the same way you all do! They have what you want and know it! If anyone is interested in the C-6 one, and can get or has a T-400 (GM) one, let me know?

Adam
