Transmission arrived very quickly with no issues at all. Shifts through all gears and reverse smoothly without any issues. I would definitely recommend purchasing from JDM Engine Zone

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Ordering and customer service was great. Crating could have been better. External piping/ tubing had some damage/ bent in, making it unusable, long block was ok.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The company shipped the engine pretty quickly which is good, the only thing is the engine came delivered on its side, the strap that held the engine down broke during transport, but overall the engine... See more

Beware, there is no warranty..

First time buying from this supplier, ordered a 2jzgte. Compression test showed there was low compression on cylinder #4, 85 psi. All others were at the very bottom of the acceptable range. Put a camera in the bores and all were scored. There was also rust on 1 and 6. These jokers said the engine had to be installed into the car with many parts replaced as well as being flushed before a determination could be made. The photos of scoring and bad compression weren't enough. I will be purchasing engines from my other suppliers, never again from this company.

Junk Transmission

It was not a good experience for a 1st time customer. I was treated very unfairly after spending over $2,0000. I bought 2 unit from this company, an engine & a transmission to pair it with. The transmission was a defective one, to no fault of me. The installation center charged me an additional $800 to remove it off the vehicle because it wouldnt shift. I simply requested that thi buisness be fair and return half of the mobey i spent on the total biii, which was just over 2K. This wouldve simply be $1,000 in term of fairness. They refused to take accountability for this defective unit and simply refunded me $699. They even kept the tax charge, i paid, as oppose to recognize the reality of what transpired. Although i provided proof to substanciate this claim and suggested this, i was simply ignored. To anyone doing buisness with this company, i would advise not to purchase any transmission from them. They do not verify the quality of those unit and simply take your money and ship you junk. Do it at your own peril and risk. I learned a valuable lesson.

It was ok I guess.

It was ok I guess.. didn't come with an alternator like it said it would (freebie or not) oil cap was completely missing, oil dipstick tube bent almost 90 degrees. Looking through the oil cap hole seems like previous owner never did proper oil changes,Crank dampener cracked off in various places. Hopefully it runs better than it looks. Shipping was fast though, that was a plus.
