Happy Retirement, Dick McCord!
|
|
|
| Dick McCord gives a speech to his coworkers and family. |
We would like to publicly thank Dick McCord for his years of service to Silver Sport Transmissions. He has been here since we opened our doors. While he did retire, he still plans on working here part time. He'll be here most days working on new projects for SST. Some spectators geeked out at a car show recently when they learned Dick was our engineer and called him a "Rockstar" in the automotive engineering world. He's definitely a rockstar around here and we're very pleased he'll still be around, albeit part-time.

| Bryan White's 84 Firebird |
|
Meanwhile, Bryan White spent the last 7 months learning the ropes from Dick and becoming familiar with our products. He's also a mechanical engineer and automotive enthusiast who likes to take his cars out to the track on the weekends. We're thrilled to have Bryan pick up where Dick left off as our new VP of Engineering. Congratulations to Bryan on his promotion!

NEW FROM SST! We do installations now!
|
 Would you like us to do your installation? We're now accepting a few local installation requests each month. Jack Silver, CEO of SST, believes we need to do more installations here at Silver Sport Transmissions in order to continually improve our kits - both our products and instruction manuals. Doing installations will allow us to test the kits in the same situations our customers face. It will also insure that SST will continue to supply absolutely the best transmission kits available.

WE'RE GROWING! Meet Stacy, Franky and Joseph

 We have three new employees to tell you about this month. Left to right, we have Stacy who is an ASCE Certified Mechanic who will help develop new kits and do customer installations. In the middle, Franky will supplement our technical advisor line and answer questions from our customers. And on the right, Joseph works in our inventory control area to help keep our ship times fast as our sales volume increases.
You can meet Franky this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway as he joins Jack and Jeff in the SST display at Autofair.

Cover Car - Robin's 66 Corvette
|
|
I attached a photo of my wife and I and the car on our Route 66 trip from Chicago to Santa Monica Pier, CA. The Tremec transmission made a completely different car out of it. At highway speeds the engine slowed down about 1000 rpms when shifting into 5th gear. It would idle along at 75 mph. It was beautiful!! We were gon
e a month seeing all the sights on the "Mother Road"! We hope to do it again someday. Probably the best part of the trip was meeting all the people who were doing the same thing that we were doing---and most of them came from other countries!!
Regards,
Robin Retzlaff

Jim Shipley's 1981 Corvette
|
 While conventional social media has tried to replace forums, there's just no better place to follow along on build threads, see photos, and read about the experience someone has with the different products they install on their car. Corvette Forum is full of tips, reviews and tricks of the trade thanks to guys like Jim Shipley. Jim put our TREMEC TKO kit into his 1981 Corvette and documented everything, from the way he raised the car on cribbing blocks and leveled his Corvette to installing the TREMEC TKO PerfectFit Kit. Jim told us the installation went perfectly. We love seeing customers document their installations online. Sometimes we even use their posts to help other customers. We definitely have the best customers in the business!
Thanks Jim!
