Default the sad true of liberty dogbox, broke on 3rd pass

I am not trying to hurt anyone bussiness but is so sad and dissapoint when you spend 4000 on a tranny that is supposed to hold the 800 whp of our civic and suddenly this one break on your third pass, and the worst of everything is when you try to contact this bussiness the only answer they have for you is we have the parts to fix it and they cost $$$$, we work hard to save some money to buy parts for our cars but honestly with this kind of poor customer satisfaction we just got from liberty we are not going anywhere on this hobby,


i feel like someone point me with a gun a took my money, thats how i feel right now, and i am sharing this with u guys because i dont want anyone of you to be fool like liberty did to me, things happens i know that but at least show me some interest in resolving my problem as a customer who pick your products on a market full of different brands to choose from.

our green coupe had a gsr tranny before and it hold more than 25 passes, we make the switch to liberty and this are the results we had

That Sucks, For that kind of money they should have at least had you send the dogbox back to see if it was a product failure or a installation issue. either way that is alot of money in these times.

Strange. I know I'm going to hear flack about this, but there are a lot of people using the Liberty gear set with no issues, including a few 8 second, and 7 seconds passes. I wonder if there is a problem with this specific batch of gears or if it's EUE??

we have strain gauge, but we were testing the tranny, we were using the clutch on the 3 passes we made.

but the point is guys we didnt even push the car to high rpm, and shifting to 4th at 9000 rpm was when it happen

Good point, these dog boxes aren't cheap at all. I wish there's more company out there that makes this boxes so that hopefully the price would go down a bit more.

Oh boy.... here we go with the Eggum questions. lol

boostedeg6-1, was this one of the original gearsets? They slightly changed their design after the initial release. I know because I have second revision parts. PPG supplied them to me free of charge! What does that say about customer service? It says a lot in my book....
