Upper hole in tranny case not centered (motor side)

[Procharged5.0]

Went home to check my trans case. the bearing pockets & hole look good, but when I set it on the chassis I found out that the FLM chassis was mis-drilled! The holes are too far forward! AAAARGH.

I love FLM's Warranty & Customer Servive. Jamie & Gina are great!

However FLM's products will never match the quality and performance of Unlimited Engineering. I thought they just installed upgraded CNC machining centers too!

So your case is fine but the chassis not working. That is a bummer.
Did you polish the chassis to?

With their equipment it doable to make a perfect product, i don't doubt that.

But their price is unbeatable. Considering the CNC tranny costs less than the molded GPM crap..

Yeah, i allmost forgot Leroy. Procharged.. King of the shiney aluminum..

Procharged.. King of the shiney aluminum..

That's funny Serum! But Yes I am! I've polished nearly every single part. Bulks, dif cases, suspension arms, knuckles, bulk braces, towers, chassis deck (only 1/3 of the way...thankfully), chassis braces, trans case, etc. the Ti skids & supermmaxx shocks are the Titanium color

It will look pretty awesome one it gets assembled!

I like shiny parts, but IMO, I like them DIRTY TOO! lol, that's the fun part!

How long do we have to wait?
It sounds shiny.

Yes, I polish all my own stuff. Right now I don't have time to polish anything, LOL I'm still trying to finish polishing my chassis which is partially done but on hold until I sort out the trans mounting issues. I may have to send in this chassis for a replacement (there goes all the hard work!).

Hopefully I'll be able to help a few of you guys out and polish a limited number of items. Doing the FLM transcase to "mirror" polished finish takes about 6 hours. I'm doing it because I've always wanted a Polished Supermaxx Truck. It may be a bit of a maintenance headache to keep up but I'll give it a go. I also have a special clear coat designed for polished metals. I may or may not use it. With all the flying debris it might chip the clear which would be worse than dulling the metal.

Finally, I'll post some pics, but most of my pics are on my laptop pc. Next time I fire it up I'll post some pics.
