Well, the GT-R part of that anyway. Back when he actually had prices listed that all-out GT-R trans was something like $26K.

Re: Sheptrans?

It says the site has been undergoing changes and one should check back. It's possible he's going through that part of the site still. It is still very odd as DSMs are still listed in the description and John doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would just drop DSM transmissions without any mention.

Joel's is there right now.

It's not the end of the world either. Still plenty of good shops to go with.

Re: Sheptrans?

Jacks FTW, at least for parts, and fully built trannys they seem to be the way to go.

Re: Sheptrans?

I have had a shep rebuild 3 times and every time i have had issues. I mean, come on my 5h gear was not even tight after 2200 bucks on my last one and they told me there was no way they missed it and it was my shift boot popping it out of gear lol ...I was dumb and kept giving them my cash. Orwell Jacks is where it’s at now I guess. You got to go where the cash it. .

Re: Sheptrans?

That sucks, my Shep tranny is still running strong 10 years later. Hopefully he's doing them again by the time it needs refreshening.
