Default Liberty transmission parts, anyone got a link?

As the title says I tried googling but nothing came up. Im from the UK and wanted to make an enquiry about shipping a gear set over.

Cheers

The B series stuff didn't happen overnight. People have been testing these things for over 3 years.

B's arent THAT much different than D's..

i know what you mean though.. was just pointing it out lol. i can currently bet you they arent doing **** for D and H because there isnt a market for them. they probably arent even breaking even on the B stuff.

we are lucky to have liberty making our sport compact stuff. imo, they could scrap the b series opperation and not look back, no skin off their back. they have alot more things going on than "honda stuff"

you should get 10 of your diehard d series ninjas together and put a deposit on 10 gear sets/final drives, and also send them an oem set to work off of. you might get somewhere. then again...maybe not.

this definetly reflects on the way that they throw you around when you order a honda gearset from them... or at least thats how it was for us.

yea ive heard alot of shitty reviews of them as a company..not their products though.

here's some for ya..

from another forum

5/18/07 I called Liberty's Gears to order a 26 spline input shaft for my T-45 transmission. They were very pleasant and told me to send them my input shaft and 3 weeks later it will be done. Having to wait before for my turbo kit (they said 3 months it took 6, but thats different story) prompted me to clarify, I asked if 3 weeks was a accurate time or could it be longer. The told me that they do these all the time and it takes them 3 weeks.
5/19/07 I shipped my input shaft to them via USPS
5/22/07 They received the input shaft
5/24/07 I called them to verify that they received the input shaft. They acknowledged receipt and told me that they would call me when it was done in approx 3-4 weeks.... I didn't say anything but was hoping this was not a sign of things to come.
Week 1: no call
Week 2: no call
Week 3: no call
Week 4: no call
Week 5: no call
Week 6: I call them the find out whats going on and they said that they were very busy but it should be done next Monday. call back then
Week 7: Its Monday and I call back and still same answer should be next week WE WILL CALL YOU!
Week 8: no call
Week 9: went on vacation for a week
Week 10:Back for vacation and still no call so I called them and still same answer "next week"
Week 11: I went out of town on business
Week 12: Back home and still no call, so I call and ask WTF?? during their impressive display of BS he let it slip that it only takes ONE day to modify the shaft, ONE. So that means that the 90 days its been their which is 60 business days they could not find the time to do ONE shaft..WTF? Any one out their have a similar story?

another member.......


MORE BITHCHING! LIBERTY SENT ME THE WRONG TRANS AND WILL TAKE THE 2-3 WEEKS TO GET ME THE RIGHT ONE. SO NOW I GET TO PULL IT OUT AND SHIP IT BACK WOOHOO! ALL THIS WORK TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT AND I GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A FUCKN CARP. YOUVE PROLLY HEARD THIS BUT ILL SAY IT ANYWAY, IT COULD BE RAINING ***** AND I'D GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A FUKN DICK!

Thanks i'll check those 2 companies out also Does anyone specifically do a gearset for H series? I might end up doing a H2B instead if the gears are more redily available and a bit cheaper

I'm sure you picking on them is helping speed up their release of the d-series stuff too....

They look at this forum just to let you know....
