Question Gearstar transmissions???

Anyone ever deal with these dudes out of Akron, Ohio???

http://www.gearstar.net/

Been told they build some bullet-proof transmissions...

I do not want to run a REAL tall gear in the '56 so I was thinking about
maybe an overdrive transmission so we can still fly on the highway.

I have had TWO stock E4OD transmisions grenade on me in a couple of my previous F150's ( 0's & 90's) so there is a good chance I will NOT use another one!


-Thanks...

Never used them personally. But A few friends have with good results. They have a real nice shop, they are local for me so I can't say I'd ship'em one over another local shop if I didn't live close. Compare costs and if its close these guy's were quick and reliable. -4speed

Many guys I know in Colorado buy em and swear by them. The shipping is 99.00 to Colorado. I will buy one if mine ever blows.
