Gbox banned?

I may need a new tranny, and know someone who had Gbox build theirs w/ good results.

However I notice that their rep was banned from 6 speed, which usually means they did something shady.

Chad has suggested someone, and he is about as knowledgeable as anyone about our cars, but I am curious as to what happened w/ G box and how much they charge for a rebuilt/strengthened tranny.

If you take away your sponsorship from any IB forum, and any forum for the most part; they ban the username. It's just to stop them for advertising still.

Now I could be wrong and they did do something shady, but I talked to Chad a few weeks ago and everything seemed fine over there.

I had questions to GBox re their 2nd gear pop out detent, and they called back and recommended I should replace my entire gearbox and buy a new one for 7-8000 USD (even after I told my box was just rebuilt with new custom gear ratios, I had brand new 1,2,5,6 gears, new dogrings and steel synchros, new pinion bearing, gears 3-4 had only 900 miles in total. I obviously didn't take their advice, and they didn't sell me the 2nd gear popout detent, I went with California Motorsports 2nd gear popout solution which they happily shared how it worked and why it would take care of the popout. With a background in mechanical engineering the CMS solution makes very good sense and GBox's recommendations made no sense.

I believe that policy has changed Tony...at least it should have and it has been changed around here...btw, we never delete anything we only remove it from view....if the other IB site follows the same guidelines your pictures should have been recoverable....sorry you were treated so poorly...even though you were no longer a vendor you had supported the site for a time and that should have been respected
