I know some of you guys have been a little hard on Mike L, but here is my input.
After seeing many posts by Mike L on "TDP" I decided to pay him a visit. On Friday I drove down to his shop (about 30 min drive), he spent about 3 hrs with me explaining in detail the tranny upgrade. He also showed me the stock Allison clutches, Trans-Go kit, and one TC. It was very hard for me to choose a torque convertor, so mike explained to me the diff between some of the TC's. What I liked about Mike is that he did'nt push one brand over the other, he gave me all the info' and let me make my own choice. At the end I chose Suncoast triple plate with their shift kit. Mike then picked the phone and spent about 15 minutes talking to Joe @ Suncoast (they seem to know each other well). My "kit" should be here next week, can't wait. According to Mike he has been in the same location for about 30 years,and been doing transmissions since 1965(Mike please correct me if I miss quote you). I left with a very good impression of Mike and I think my Allison would be in good hands.
Guys I do not want to start anything here just give the guy a break.
peace,
Dave
