My RPMM Experience

[oneFASTmustang]

I thought I'd bring every one here up to speed about my transmission install a while back.

Install-
Everything went really well right up to when we found and issue with the T45 that was currently in my car, which had failed in less than 5,000 miles do to a bad install form another shop that I will go without mention here. Well Greg ordered up a new pilot bearing and it turned out to be a minor set back. Wes got his camera out and took probably a dozen pictures of the install issue and the damaged caused, which I seriously appreciated. Those pictures helped me a ton to actually get some compensation from the shop that did the bad install. The install took just a little longer than estimated but I wasn't charged anything other that the new pilot bearing. :cheer2:

Parts-
Were not specifically from Renegade but if your interested... My trany was actually a hush hush deal with a company who wanted their failed T45R back for inspection fearing it was their problem. Not to mention some good publicity on the forums Im a part of. To make up for all the hassle Richard (now at AmericanPowertrain) sent me a T45RS"S" Built by John Reggio who used carbon gears for 1st-5th and reverse, carbon fiber sycnros & blockers, brass fork pads, steel shift forks, T56 Viper modifed shift rail and a custom short throw. Apparently they also took the blocking rings to the lathe and shaved .015" off each one which "gives it a positive engagement when shifting".

In short... it feels crisper, firmer, and very direct. It engages the gear hard almost like a built automatic.

Overall-
There now the only shop I go to. It seems they can and will do anything, do better work, and charge less. They didn't have to spend the time taking a dozen pictures of another shops mistake and they didn't need to disregard the extra time these issues took them but they did. Its a good shop run by good guys tired of the bs all to commonly found in this industry. Thanks Renegade!

[Stangguy]

Thanks for the mad props Brandon. I'm just glad we could help you out! Glad to hear your transmission feels great. Let me know when your ready to do the rest!

 

[Stangbuilder]

Brandon, glad everything worked out. We are hoping to build our business on honesty, integrity, quality, affordability, and going the extra mile. We want to have nothing but happy customers in our wake. We are all about spending money wisely on our cars, including mine, my car has been a slow build taking years, and we all would like to spend our money on a new upgrades, not on redoing something we already spent our hard earned cash on. We want to build our business on our good reputation, not neccessarily on the short fall of others. Oh by the way what did the transmission builders have to say?

Rpmm has done great work on my build. Although I am not finished yet I will be bringing my car back to you guys to continue on with the great staff and great work you do. Thanks guys your hard work has not gone unnoticed!!

 

[sdsubzero4]

I have to add my experience. They diagnoise my misfire and fixed it not charging me for the DD and replaced my cracked cowl cover. That's the "going the extra" that I appreciate very much.

 

[oneFASTmustang]

Absolutely guys, I wanted to start a thread for anyone to post on and let RPMM's great work and experience just speak for it self. Ill see some of you wednesday where ever we decide to meet up.

Stangguy , Ill let you know when I need more go fast goodies! haha you know I will

Stangbuilder, Yea thanks man! Well what you said about what you want Renegade to be really shows. I bet we'll see more and more posting here like this. And Ive asked Richard about what they found but he was in the middle of moving to another company and understandable did not get back. Ill ask him now and get back to you.

just wanted to share my rpmm experience, i had wanted to install a charger on my own but due to it being backordered couldnt do it and sent it to renegade. they worked on my tight schedule even coming in late on saturday night, on their own time to finish it even though they were swamped with other projects. i thought that was awesome and shows how far this shop will go for customer service. so +1 for renegade

 

[BadBullitt]

RPMM has got my vote too! Not only did they give me a great deal on a tranny and clutch for the Cobra, they did a great install on my Whipple. Greg and the guys definitely go the extra mile to take care of the customer.That's why I'll keep coming back.

 

[IgottaV8]

I take my car there whenever I need anything done, they did an IRS in my car which included time consuming welding and fixing my screwups with the exhaust that was swapped between cars. Then, when my transmission was giving me trouble they fixed it within a couple of days, Greg went even as far as to find a used bellhousing to save me money. Plus they let me hang out and bother them when I am bored.

I thought you hung out a DG customs lol


I may have to call at get pricing on my clutch....

I'm glad to see you guys have a shop in the area that thinks of their customers FIRST. Those guys at RPMM made a statement that follows EXACTLY my philosophy and PET PEEVE, "We are all about spending money wisely on our cars." When a customer comes to me with a job that he wants done, I always ask him what are his goals in the short term AND long term. I evaluate what he wants done and see if I can meet or exceed them with the current job or wheather he needs to wait and throw a bit more parts and money at it at a later date. I hate to see someone have to do a job twice or throw good money after bad. I try my best to spend my customer's money as it was mine! LOL! From what I've seen so far, these guys do too!
Keep up the good work guys! Keep YOUR standards and don't compromise them for anyone or anything!
I love little quick and easy jobs! Big projects are hard to make money on if you aren't very diligent on watching the bottom line.

my RPMM experience is ever growing. I had a funny problem happen to my car on the way back from my trip to nebraska, it would spit and sputter around 4 k rpms. Going up a hill it would do it around 3 k in 5th gear I was like WTF is going on I called greg aka STANGGUY and he said when you get here bring it on in and we will get it figured out the first thought I had was I got a bad tank of gas on the trip and it was making things all funny I was also going to pick up my custom SCT XCAL3 with the custom tune that greg built any who the first tought was my coil packs so off come the MSD's and same damn thing. Took it in a did a compression, leakdown and pullout the hightech snapon dignostics computer and still nothing ended up being a spark plug fouling out above 4 k or under heavy load. thanks RPMM you guys rock!!
