[64speed]

I thought I would give me evaluation of American Powertrain now that my transaction is almost complete.
1. Their layaway program is great with very little down.
2. Everything I bought was of top quality.
3. Their service leading up to and during the sale was unbeatable.
Now the bad.
The directions SUCK!!! If you are running a mechanical speedometer like I am they send you an adapter with a million little washers and no instructions and then act like you are bothering them when you call and ask.
If you get the upgraded shifter make sure it’s tight before you install the trans in the car. I had to take the engine and trans back out when I bolted the stick on and realized the shifter was floppy.
The “shipping plug” that they said was in the tail shaft and had to be pryed out by a screwdriver is not there. Don’t waste 30 minutes on the phone with them telling you to look deeper in the shaft.
The weekend and extended hour tech support they tout does not exist. It’s the techs cell phone and he will not call you back on nights or weekends.
Check your order immediately. I received NO hardware for the install and had to get a separate shipment.
Make sure you are in agreement about your U joint size. I am running 1350 U joints and my driveshaft order form they just sent me with tracking number says it was built with 1330. I have to call in the morning because that’s not what I paid for or what my rear is setup for and I am not using conversion U Joints.
I would rate them as OK. If they had a more favorable layaway policy I would have bought from SST but it is what it is.
