<font color="blue">That's a great deal. hope it comes out.
My first automatic race shifter was a Winters through Fairbanks. Best shifter I ever owned. I talked to Fairbanks years ago, when they were in Conn., They had 2 trans for sale in National Dragster, & I asked if I could get some parts for mine, (seal kit, bearings, o-rings,etc),. Their answer was,"No, we discontinued these trans. & are not selling parts anymore." I asked how they could advertise new trannys & have no parts if they are damaged & they said,"As is, No warranty." Iasked if I could purchase the blueprints with the part #'s so I could build them & they said,"We don't have them anymore. All that stuff is gone." (all in that nice (nasty) NY, NJ, Conn. accent). WTF !So anyway, many years later, I came across a fairbanks converter at the speed shop & I wondered whatever happened to them. I found them relocated in Talahassee, Fl. I called & talked to the new owner, yadda yadda yadda, he had nothing for the clutch-turbo & got nothing about it. I ordered all the race parts for my 200 4 R, which worked great. (Fairbanks Transmissions....(800)243-3496) My hopes for parts were gone, until now, maybe.</font>
