This sounds like a good time to mourn Joe Huneycutt's decision to close up shop at SixSpeedsInc, formerly T56Rebuilds.

I'm glad mine broke before that.

Link? Evidence? First I've heard of it. My experience with them was perfect, and it was towards the end of their existence.

Jake seems like you have a soft spot for scammers...

Amber and Joe Huneycutt are a bunch of thieves. Took peoples money, and their transmissions knowing full well they couldnt provide, then they dodged their customers and gave every excuse in the book. (sounds familiar eh?) All while their racing operation was still at full speed...it was for sale though on racingjunk a few months ago, but at an insanely high price, seems they didnt really care about making the customers they stiffed whole, just making more to put into their own pockets.

You can read about it, there are plenty of posts on LS1tech and YB.

Think what you want. I just don't make assumptions until I have the whole story. What I know so far about CPT and SixSpeedsInc puts them both in a positive light as far as their intentions. I have personal experience with SixSpeedsInc to back that up. I don't own anything with a 4L60, so I don't have any personal experience with CPT.

I don't care for LS1tech, and I don't even know what "YB" is.

I sent my broken T56 down to SixSpeedsInc in early 2008. They called two days after it left my doorstep and told me what was wrong and what it would take to fix. $1400 and change, they said, and they'd need about two weeks to get it fixed (that price included shipping from Michigan to Houston and back). I gave Amber my credit card number over the phone, and four days later she called again and said it was done and they were shipping it out. Three days after that, it showed up at my house again, better than new.

I'll take my personal experience a hundred times over somebody else's unsubstantiated story. I can prove that what I am saying here is true. If they are scammers, why didn't they scam me? Why, when I asked about cryo-treating and mikroniting, did Amber talk me out of it? That's not what a scammer would have done.

These days, the minute somebody has even one unfortunate incident with a vendor, everybody jumps at the chance to label that vendor a scammer. I don't believe it. These are good people with longstanding positive reputations in the community. If something went wrong, I'm confident that it was a mistake, accident, misunderstanding, miscommunication, supplier issue, or something else to that effect.

Everybody needs to lay off these guys. CPT and SixSpeedsInc were the best F-body transmission builders in the business, and I'm sad that things didn't work out. Our community is worse off without them.
