americanpowertrain really?

[RBR]

So, I get contacted by BBB about a claim I made back in 2010 about AP. Grey decided to respond to my claim after 2 1/2 yrs. Just learned that they have 3 yrs to respond. I was over it and moved on.
My request was to get an invoice and return $57 gray charged my account for restocking fees.
To sum things up, grey is requesting in writing that I no longer continue to "forum flame or bad mouth AP" and he will provide a invoice and give me a check for $57 dollars.
He also added that he has been very responsive, has 13yrs exp., sells parts for LQ9's everyday. And that I must have given incorrect information.
I read my claim from 2 1/2 yrs ago. I forgot that grey got all pissed off started cursing at me and had another AP person tell me how I hold some responsiblity for all the items grey picked out with all his exp.

The truth, he claimed to be a expert, picked out all the parts and sent a bellhousing that didn't even match up to my LQ9 and would not give a invoice with the price of each part. Never did know what I paid for each item. The reason I wanted the invoice was to know where they came up with $57 restocking fee Really?
LQ9 with tremic 5 speed is what I have? The other place sent correct parts and I've been driving it for 2 1/2yrs.

Because they are afraid of the word getting out to the masses about how much they suck. I wouldn't by free air to breath from that guy.

I am about to buy my t56 magnum for my 67 firebird (was a automatic)....I am looking for a complete kit and have talked to a few venders with american powertrain being one of them. I am curious who provided the best service and quality/fit for this purchase...who would you recommend for this?

Thanks,

Same here, and AP has an outstanding debt with me. Scott, Jim, and Traci at Hurst are good genuine people.

I just bought a T56 Magnum transmission and a hydraulic clutch kit from Hurst Driveline. They delivered... good sales, technical support, and install instructions. I would buy from them again in the future.

Hmmm,
Interesting, I have been researching vendors to purchase a t56 kit from and AP was one of the vendors I was looking at. I guess I will pass on them. Summit sells the Hurst Driveline T56 kits. Because I have had such good experience buying parts from Summit over the years that's where I plan to buy my T56 kit.

I'm getting ready to make this purchase as well. I am buying from Summit and not thinking twice about it. I research everything to death down to the last washer, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna be held up by some boner just because he's a sponsor of a site. I order from Summit, I get an email confirming it, charged when it's shipped, an email with a tracking number, Hurst gets a wholesale sale, and the part shows up on time. End of transaction. I'm impatient and not a very nice person, so I just save flaky vendors the agony. It's a service I provide them.
