Your totally right this order has taken to long. But to clear the air for any overseas shipments we hold the order until all the parts are here or it gets really expensive for shipping and customs.
Who ever told you it was clevis pins that was incorrect it was your hydramax bracket we have been waiting on. We redesigned the brackets so they fit better and it hurt our supply line. Your kit IS shipping this week. The transmission was delayed first then the bracket held it up this last week. And not to mention the holidays but that is not your problem.
The transmissions are slow to arrive sometimes from TREMEC especially this time of year. TREMEC builds the OE transmissions for the new Camaro, Challengers and Caddys with 6-speeds. This is their prime manufacturing run season and at the same time its also the build season for enthusiasts. So it hits right in the middle of our best selling time. This season runs now through usually early April. Hurst and other dealers are also hurt by this supply shortage. TREMEC has to shut down their OE lines to build the aftermarket transmissions. We try to forecast how many we need but they still sometimes can't keep up with demand due to building OE trannys. Not knocking TREMEC but its the nature of the business.
Again I am sorry for the delay and communication from our staff. If you need anything else feel free to drop me a note.
Thanks

This is exactly the point I am tryng to make with this thread ! I just read this post in the transmission section and my friggin blood started boiling!!! My trans kit was orderd mid October I was told about the TREMEC shortage but it was only a four week delay! After six weeks (emails and phone calls another story)I was told I would have it late December,still no trans! No calls no emails about whats going on, nothing! Point being .Tell me this is ''Tremec's PRIME manufacturing run'' for this time of the season!! AND YOUR NOT SURE WHEN THE TRANSMISSIONS WILL BE DELIVERED!!! For me its that easy!!!!!! It sounds to me like you guys know this happens every year! Knowing this why would you require half the money in my case $4300.00 witch pisses me off even more!!! If you told me it was going to be a few hundred dollars to hold my place in line so when the ''Prime'' season is done I would have a place in line that would work for me also!!!!! So for me I think your responce above is complete BULLSH^T!!! I said what I had to say I done!!!!
