    Shep Problems.....

    4th is a known issue and as you see from Ricky's post I put in a considerable amount of time and effort trying to come up with a cost effective solution but in the end with electron beam welding and the cost of very high end gears we axed that idea.If the gears are run cool and not put...

    Shep Problems.....

    Money has nothing to do with it but I will say I am glad the GTR platform came around , otherwise I would most likely have moved on. In reality the GTR allows us money to stay in business and still be able to offer the same pricing on dsm/evo products.

    Shep Problems.....

    I'll just go ahead and chime in here.Vince, when you say in boost it won’t go into gear that right there shows a problem. The trans doesn't care if it is at 0 boost or 50 psi. What does care is the clutch which under load can flex and bind on the input shaft and you cannot simulate this...

    Sold my Talon

    Someone overseas will be enjoying a 7 second Talon. Hopefully they keep the setup generally the same. It would be sad for it to be torn apart.(edit)April Fools(/edit)

    Where's Shep?

    The last I checked on the DSM Phil was hand buffing the cage and had the roof cut off to be able to paint the cage better :D I know it is all e-coated, blocked and primed so I dont expect much longer but I have not been putting any pressure on him. He has a business to run as well and this is...

    How I ruined my new rebuilt shep tranny!

    Tanner,This time I am sure you will leave the shipping plug in until you put the speedo back in :) That washer bounced around and found everything it could. I still have it if you want to get your revenge on it haha.

    So once again, the trans is back to Shep

    Andrew,Please remember we have a FEW THOUSAND trannies out and I will go out on a limb and say far more than anyone else so please do the math. Our failure rate is extremely low especially considering most of the problems are customer induced. Wrong oil and clutch problems are by far the...

    Where's Shep?

    I dont drive the car much and they do what I need them to do and fit well and look like a decent product for the price.

    Where's Shep?

    No real updates on the car since last but I did knock the dust off of the evo and run it at the dsm/evo shootout.The evo is a very low mileage 03 (6000 miles)FP hta 35 .82 Shearer header kit Fox lake ported head with ferrea valvetrain Fp old school cams 264/265 Br 2.3 je/crower Br...

    Where's Shep?

    Well, it has become very apparent that the car will not be in rolling chassis form for the shootout and will not be there.Phil and I talked today and neither of us will accept anything but perfection on the car and to try to rush it at this point after waiting so long would defeat the...

    Where's Shep?

    I loved the PR trip and will be going back many times I am sure.The car will race on PR soil in the future. We just need time to get the car sorted out once done and build our inventory of spare parts back up.

    Where's Shep?

    Believe me guys I am very disappointed and honestly some of the things that happened (cars getting bumped ahead of me) has led me to lose a lot of respect for the shop that did the work.As for Brent, he is awesome. Most probably don't know him well and most of the time he is not a people...

    Where's Shep?

    Quick update for those that remember I still have a race car:thumb:The car is offically at the body shop and the last I seen it was upside down and headed for the sand blasters to get it prepped and ready for zinc coating. I should have something to at least roll out of the trailer at the...

    Where's Shep?

    Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of updates. The car is still at the chassis shop !!! As you can imagine I am highly upset it is taking so long and it is to the point that it may get ugly if I do not have it in the next few weeks.It will still need to go to Phil down at first impressions for...
