RE: [Chevelle-list] Choose (Richmond 6 speed or tremec 5 speed)

2003-08-16 Thread Herb Lumpp



Considering I have a Richmond 6 speed in my 66 Elky, I guess I should 
respond. It fits without major work. The only mods I had to make 
were to clearance the driver side of the tunnel a bit for the linkage and to 
make the mounts on the frame longer towards the back of the car because when you 
move the cross member back where it needs to be w/ the Richmond, the two rear 
holes end up off the original frame mount tab.

As for 
Richmond's customer service, they are second to none. As most of you know 
I've had some problems with mine and so far Richmond has been the best. 
I've had my tranny for over two years now and I just recently had mine rebuilt 
for FREE by Richmond. The only expense to me was the cost of shipping it 
to them. I think the original warranty is only 90 days. IMO if a 
manufacturer of parts, let alone aftermarket performance parts, is willing to 
stand behind their product like Richmond has, they've earned my business and 
loyalty for life.

Yes 
the Richmond costs more, but I'm glad topay more for the kind of support 
they've provided me.

If 
anyone wants pictures of the modified bracket let me know.

You might want to wait till my trans problem with 
DD Performance is resolved. My Viper T56 was shipped back to 
them,Thursday,so it will probably be another week or two before Ihave an 
idea how well DD will stand behind their products.
