Knew who you were talking about before you named him. Been that way for years now.

He put wrong parts in a member's 904 fairly recently. He had to pay a local guy to fix it.

I recently got a 727 built by CRT. I stopped by the shop and paid and picked it up in person - this was part of the deal.He told me that he wasnt doing builds where he had to ship them- and also people could drop off their cores.
Anyway, he had 1 very young employee working in the shop - not sure if the young guy is doing the full builds or not. I hope my new trans works good - it looks like it was done right. I should be testing it here in the next week or two. My previous 727 build from CRT is still going strong in my 340 dart 20 years later.

I hope yours works correctly also , expensive timely mistake to correct.

It's not rocket science. A reliable Torque Flite can be built with off the shelf parts. If you're not worried about every .10x in ET it's pretty cheap. I've done a bunch of them. It's not a $2K trans.
Doug Exactly! I've done quite a few. Simple and stout.

if its so easy, then why did a pro builder fail to put it together correctly ?
