Barry Fish2024-07-16Replaced the original (reworked) Type 9 gearbox in my Caterham 7 with a First Motion unit built with TracSport parts. Everything fitted and worked first time, and Paul was consistently helpful via email with answers to my questions. I couldn't be happier with the result.DJ Race Cars2024-07-09Paul was very helpful and gave excellent advice with no high pressure sales tactics which made me happy to place an order with himSi Frowen (Frodo)2024-07-08I had a gearbox built by Paul last month - great service, really helpful advice and a notchy, leaking Quaife Type 9 gearbox prone to breaking synchros replaced by a brilliant, oil-tight Tracsport T9 which I’m really happy with!Bhups Gill2024-06-13Paul did a great job on my type 9 gearbox, transformed the whole car. Would highly recommend him to anyone.Mark Chell2024-06-10Stunning work for Paul on the rebuilding of my Capri gearbox. Excellent work and highly recommend for value and quality.Jim Morrison2024-05-12Dealing with Paul at First Motion Transmissions has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. It is not often that you meet an absolute expert in their field, also coupled with such a down to earth friendly and professional manner. Paul is exactly that, he has a wealth of experience gained from working in the automotive transmission business for many years and a customer service ethos that surpasses expectations. I was looking to change my current Type 9 gearbox to better meet the needs of my 100 BHP Westfield Eleven. My understanding of these matters is astonishingly low but Paul took me through a gearbox calculator exercise that offered the best match for my wheels, final drive set up etc. The deal was done and within a very short period of time (days) my gearbox was ready for collection. The exterior appearance looked brand new but what was more impressive was the comprehensive briefing that I received on what had been done to the gearbox but possibly more importantly was the sheet containing installation checks and procedures - quite outstanding. Well that's it for now - I will report again when I use the box in anger and that will be when I get my engine back - delayed from the engine builder! If only everyone's service could be as professional and caring as Paul - thank you so much. Kind regards, Jim Morrison CBERM2024-04-23Paul responded very quickly to my email regarding the availability of what I expected to be a difficult spare to obtain. The parts were in stock, delivered the next day and exactly what I needed.
