MAD DOG TRANSMISSIONS
Anybody used them? I saw them on ebay, pretty fair prices on 700r4.
Thanks, Colt.

i bought one from Lou. the trans seemed to hold up well but i had some issues with the torque convertors taking the abuse my turbocharger was throwing at it. Just a quick call to them and i had a new convertor sent no questions asked. really good customer service.

I dont believe I would buy an auto tranny on ebay with shipping or warranty problems. I can hook you up with a good shop just south of Fort Worth. He does many circle track car trannys from Austin Houston and Dallas. He did my GTO 400 tranny and beefed it up some . God service and good prices.

I would be leary about buying an auto tranny on line. I can hook you up with a good shop just south of Fort Worth. Circle track racers bring him theirs from all over Texas. He did my GTO 400 and beefed it up some for me. Great service and prices. Pm me if you need info

Colt, unfortunately we often get what we pay for with transmissions. Especially EBAY transmissions. Proceed with caution.

They built a full manual 700R4 for my Nova. Lou, the owner, is a stand up guy that does back up his transmissions...good people to deal with.

These guys have been around a long time. I've talked with them myself a few times. If they were not good, they would not still be selling as many units as they do. As far as not buying on line, and looking for local shops goes. Unless you have a local shop who knows performance work. Your as likely to be screwed by them, as buying on line. And, it's not like you can sit and watch them work, because they are local. Crap work is crap, no matter if it's from on line, or local shops. Besides, how many cams, carbs, heads, and so on do you send away for work, or have done down at your local Joe's In & Out? So, what's the diff buying a Transmission, or a set of heads from some catalog vendor on line ? So, do what you feel is best for you, and no matter who you buy from. Know their work. Or, return it like you do buying parts right here from PY. If, there is a problem. Again, their history says much about them....

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
