Been past a month now to have transmission components sent back from GTM. I understand being busy, but I do not understand constantly differing stories each week. A thread will be soon to follow on this experience and others. From other accounts the same parts have taken a couple of days to a week. Frustration is setting in and I just want my car back.

Currently missing: TX2K and Hot Import Nights. Would be nice to have her back in one piece to attend either of these events.

"Wrapping up the order and should ship in a couple of days"

Let's hope this is true (been the statement for some time now)(going on 6 weeks)

Some of the best customer service I have experienced with car items:

Tuner Ready Motorsports, Temple TX

Johnny Huang has assisted me in ordering products that are one off and has been amazingly helpful with the process. Items are packaged and delivered on schedule without any problems. A BIG thanks to Johnny and Tuner Ready!

Those seats are awesome, looking forward to seeing those red Forgestars too. You're going to be one busy builder when everything comes in. Hats off for an incredible project

You are correct sir! Thought it would be a good idea to get a lighter dedicated track set up. I love my Works but they are heavy (20" are never really light)

It has been 8 weeks now since GTM has received my transmission parts and "began" work. This company has let me down and has not given me any sort of consideration. I continue to be lied to and just want what was promised to be worked in "2-3" days.

I just want my car back in working order...

So 3 days has turned into 8 weeks
That's horrendous, hope they compensate you somehow, G/L.

Yeah, they are pretty awful of a company. Filed with BBB and continue to call to try and get parts back.

I've placed a backup order through Level 10 in NJ and will hopefully get parts soon!

***Update***

9 weeks later and 2/3 of the order have shipped and arrived. Still awaiting the final piece (torque converter)

Since I made a duplicate order I will have a Valvebody and Torque Converter FS sometime soon.
