Default Re: GM clutch-flite question????????????

<font color="blue">That's a great deal. hope it comes out.
My first automatic race shifter was a Winters through Fairbanks. Best shifter I ever owned.

I talked to Fairbanks years ago, when they were in Conn., They had 2 trans for sale in National Dragster, &amp; I asked if I could
get some parts for mine, (seal kit, bearings, o-rings,etc),. Their answer was,"No, we discontinued these trans. &amp; are not selling parts anymore."
I asked how they could advertise new trannys &amp; have no parts if they are damaged &amp; they said,"As is, No warranty."
Iasked if I could purchase the blueprints with the part #'s so I could build them &amp; they said,"We don't have them anymore. All that stuff is gone." (all in that nice (nasty) NY, NJ, Conn. accent).
WTF !
So anyway, many years later, I came across a fairbanks converter at the speed shop &amp; I wondered whatever happened to them.
I found them relocated in Talahassee, Fl.
I called &amp; talked to the new owner, yadda yadda yadda, he had nothing for the clutch-turbo &amp; got nothing about it.
I ordered all the race parts for my 200 4 R, which worked great. (Fairbanks Transmissions....(800)243-3496)

My hopes for parts were gone, until now, maybe.</font>
