Kinda curious to know if anyone else has had any issues with them lately..
Now I'm a very laid back kinda guy, I dont expect things done as soon as I say it, just so long as it gets done I'm happy..
Back in March I trashed my TKO500, this trans has had 12 passes total, and has grenaded twice.. This trans didnt come from Liberty, but from another well known company. I got the parts through this company the first time, the 2nd time I decided to have Liberty do the work on the parts I needed ( I suspect this is where the parts originally came from in the first place, since the "middle man" company basicly raped me first go round, I desided I didnt want anymore of that.....
So I asked Liberty to modify the parts I needed ( 3rd-4th gears, face plated, cluster shaft, main shaft, all cryo treated. Drill input shaft for magnet, a alum bearing retainer with bung for sensor. Small parts kit, etc etc ).....
I stayed in contact with them, in July I was contacted by someone else, saying the person I had been dealing with was terminated.. Nobody had a damn clue what I needed, so I had to tell the guy what all I was having done.. He said the last guy wasnt gettin the job done, so they brought him in....
Well, last week I was contacted by another person. He said he had a bin full of parts, with my name on it and no other info. Said the last guy was terminated for not getting the job done, and said that he'd get my stuff done quickly since it had been sitting there since March....
I dont know whether to tell um to shove it or what I should do.. I was only able to make 4 passes this yr, I wasnt in a hurry because summer time for me, I dont get to race due to being crazy busy, but I hit it pretty hard starting around September.. I made 2 races last yr, 4 passes this yr, in 2 fuckin yrs I've made 8 passes..
I'm a die hard manual trans guy, I fuckin love um.. Yeah they are a pain in the ass, but still....... This whole fuckin deal has honestly made me think very hard about going to a auto.. The worst part is, what I'm getting ready to do to the car, that trans wont hold ( fuck, it didnt hold what I had before LMFAO! ).. I'm half tempted to tell them to ship the parts I sent them back, and to fuck off..
Whats really bad is I've seen posts on here with guys saying they screwed something up, and Liberty had their parts shipped to them within a few days.. I hate to bash a company, but this is fuckin rediculous.
And who knows if the parts I asked for, and paying for are actually what they are supposed to be? I suspect that the first round of parts I ordered weren't cryo treated, I asked for them to be micro polished, and they didnt do it.. Chances are, the same fuckin thing will happen here.
Who else out there can supply me with parts for this POS? I'd like to build the trans again, and sell it ( to somone making less power than I am ). I'm way upside down on this thing, I'd like to recoop a small fraction of it, instead of taking 9K in the ass ( about where it's at now :smt103 )
