Man Trans has done it to me.
This is the letter I recieved from the owner, after spending almost 6k on a 6 speed conversion, from them.
"Dear Mr. Thomas,
'I recognize the fact that you have had to install three of our transmissions in you Dodge pickup truck. The first transmissions you had problems with was jumping out of 5th gear. This could have been caused by the way the transmission was shimmed, but that is also the first thing that happens if the oil level is too low. Furthermore, there is a bearing between the input shaft (which is 5th gear) and the output shaft that if not oiled properly will burn up and cause the input (5th gear) to excessively vibrate, in turn making the transmission to jump 5th gear.
You admitted that the second transmission had overheated. Now you are having problems with your third transmission. Regardless of whose fault it is I am sorry that you have had so many headaches with this project. At this time I am willing to accept out transmission back in its current condition and will give you $2500 in return. At which point I will consider this issue resolved.
Mans-Trans has taken pride in successfully rebuilding many of these transmissions, and we feel as if we are a very consumer conscious company. Please update us on the De-stroke Conversion, and feel free to contact us at any time you are looking for a different transmission.'

Darrell B. Moore

I have since then gone with a ZF6 Ford trans. with a Destroked conversion. The reason for this decision is after talking to Quad 4x4, and Darrell Moore,(Man Trans owner), New Venture transmissions manufacturer are no longer making parts for these transmissions. the only aftermarket parts are made over seas. Darrell apologized and admitted to this problem. I have received a hate letter since then stating he will do nothing for me now.
My capabilities stretch way beyond installing and checking the oil level in transmissions. I don't want anyone else to fall victom to this company.
The reason I am on the 3rd trans and not the 2nd is the first was for a Chevy gasser with a 1 1/4 input. not a Dodge Cummins 1 3/8 input.
