Thumbs up Thumbs up to Forte's Parts Connection

Thought I would give you guys some positive feedback on one of CC's advertisers.

I was looking for a clutch alignment shaft to use with a TKO600 (1-1/8"-26 spline) and a FE (0.668" ID pilot bearing). I first bought one of the plastic tools from Summit but was really disappointed; sloppy spline fit and the tip for the pilot bearing was too small.

So Monday (7/20) I called Forte's Parts Connection, talked with Brian, and he said they sold TKO600 input shafts for this purpose. I asked the price and he said.....$15. Sounds great!

I received it yesterday (7/22 - UPS ground) and it looked to be a new unused shaft (still sealed in plastic). Spline and bearing fit are tight; it should work perfectly.

We usually read about the problems we have with vendors, so I wanted to support one of our advertisers and let you know Brian treated me right. Friendly, fast, and the correct part!

Yeah, regardless of how far they are away from me, I would prefer them becuase they know what they are doing. Better to pay for more shipping, then to get screwed by another local expert.

Great service, great parts.
