Default Hanlon Motorsports at London this year

Bob Hanlon from St. Peters, PA was at the London Cobra Show this year. He is listed on Tremec's website as an authorized distributor. The 5&6 Speed Specialist | Hanlon Motorsports

Has anyone had him do any transmission work?

Talking to him, he said he changes TKO 600 5th gear ratios all the time, so he always has a supply of both ratios in used parts. If you are willing to trade parts he said he can save you about $300. New parts is ~$600 and he can swap you parts for about $300. I believe he said around $300 labor to go through a TKO 500 or 600.

He can also do all types of upgrades for any intended use from street to racing. He seemed to know these transmissions inside and out. I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with him.

Bob has done three transmissions for me over the years, great guy. He is the go to guy for a lot of the Ford road racers.....More than fair prices as far as I am concerned.

Thanks. That was my impression talking to him, but I wanted to hear from more than just my own thoughts.
