I don't have the hemi band but I bought what is supposed to be a kevlar band.
Got it from feebay, the new band isn't marked on the lining like the one in the pic in the ad was... It ain't marked with anything.
I'm getting frustrated with this whole project.
I wish places like Napa and O'Reilly's carried trans parts on the shelf. I'm tired of going in and asking for 4 things and getting 2.
I was highly recommended to try WIT for trans parts this go round, they aren't impressing me.
I have been to 2 locations now, both have pulled the same crap on me.
The first one I asked about a thrust washers kit. And a snap ring kit. I meant all of each part contained in a 46re there are 9 parts in the washer kit, they gave me 6.
There's about as many snap rings, yet when I get home I found 3 in the bag.
I then went back to the trans to reacquaint myself since it's been 4 months since I tore it down. Took me that long to get up the money for the job.
I saw that besides the parts that I thought they got me (and I specifically asked for,) but didn't, I saw that the original clutch pistons from my trans had some scuffs on the edges /so I better get those while I'm in there.
I knew I was going to the Indy swap and A&A was gonna be there so I thought I'd get the remaining parts from them. They didn't have what I needed with them and nobody was left back at the shop for me to go by there and pick them up from them/ so I looked at WIT site from the Indy swap. I was gonna order what I lacked, but discovered they actually had a location 6 miles from the Indy swap. So I called and asked, again, for the parts I lacked. They set them out, plus a kit for another trans I want to rebuild.
"Well, we only have of the snap rings you want so we'll have to UPS them from the KY warehouse, shipping will cost more than the part."
BUT I do have a snap ring KIT in stock. Which was what I ASKED FOR in the first place....
Still no small snap rings for things like the front clutch pack in there Grrrrrr
Twice now, I specifically asked for ALL of the snap rings in the trans and still don't have them all.
What part of ALL, don't those people understand?
I did get a thrust washer kit as I wanted from the original location, again I specifically asked for and the bill even says that's what I got charged for, and didn't completely get the first time.
Ok so I get to this 2nd WIT and remember when I get there that I forgot to ask for the pistons in the phone and ask he counter person for it. She got on the phone and was talking with someone,
I have the call out numbers of BOTH of them that I was wanting, the one for the rear clutch (high/reverse) and the overdrive apply. I heard the parts girl repeat exactly as I asked about on the phone. Those have to come from the KY warehouse. Meaning they would be UPS'd to my door. And my card charged when shipped.
I got home from work today and there's a box on my porch from WIT. Guess what... It has a high/reverse piston in there with a Belleville spring, nylon spacer and the snap ring for that clutch BUT NO OVERDRIVE APPLY PISTON IN THE BOX.... So I am finding myself asking WIT, WTF..... I'm getting pissed at not getting what iam asking for ... And IM NOT paying another UPS charge. This is twice now.
Maybe I need to go back to transtar next time. I hadn't done a trans in some time, so I didn't think I'd still be in their system/ so I tried somebody else on many positive suggestions for them.... Their service has been less than impressive
What's funny was that when I was in the phone with WIT while at the Indy swap, he said "you got that on your bill from a week before, the other location". Well I might have been charged for it, it's not there ".
