sure to be first, while not losing sight of quality, is the burden of kit develop- ment.” says Miller. There‘s added value to being first.
“If we can get our kit to market with all the extra needed parts, whether it’s a piston, or a spring and get people to use our kit when they rebuild a unit, most of the time the builder will ask for a P.I. Kit the next time that unit comes into their shop” states Sollazzo. “We bring value and depth to what was once a basic paper and rubber set. Where in the past Honda had a 2-speed and a 3-speed unit, now they have 60-70 units with more coming out every year. Many of the manufacturers today buy a transmission, as opposed to making it themselves. That same transmission will be in several different car types, with each manufacturer tweaking the unit somehow. We need to know what those tweaked changes are so Precision International’s Overhaul Kit fits the unit when in a BMW or a General Motors vehicle.” Today’s automatic transmissions
are International. “We get units from all over the world, often 6 or 7 different units, for a specific transmission type to be sure we have covered all bases. We have to be confident in the applica- tion of our product, says Soviero. We do everything in our power to have a complete rebuilding kit, done right, before anyone else does. It’s our goal to put in the right extra parts to help a

rebuilder get the job out the door on a timely basis, with no comebacks. Some of these “extras” are valve springs, retaining clips and even magnetically- phased sensors. Interestingly, when we first stumbled across these sensors in the Audi 01J unit, we initially thought they were simply metal clad seals. After our R&D work, we understood the technical requirements and realized the part would be something a good rebuilder should replace. On a Friday afternoon, at 4:00 when the rebuild is almost complete and the rebuilder can’t find a servo retaining clip to replace the broken one in the unit, they can get just a little frustrated. Instead of having to wait until Monday or Tuesday to get a clip from the dealer, it’s right in the Precision International Overhaul Kit. And the customer gets their car back for the weekend. ”
Circa: The Future Some people in the transmission
rebuilding industry find themselves admiring a more simplistic past. But it’s history. “Precision is proud of the fact we are the oldest kit manufacturer in our industry, Says Miller. Many com- panies have come and gone, while we have persevered. The biggest reason for our company’s success is our people, right across the board. From the real person who answers the phone, to our very bright hard working engineers and staff at every level, they are the best in

the industry and prove it everyday.” Precision knows the transmission
market, perhaps better than any Kit Overhaul Manufacturer in the business. They do everything they can to service the builder first. Sollazzo concludes, “Precision International has grown to a well respected, veteran-type status in our industry; it comes from lot of hard work from all of us. We will con- tinue to work hard to meet and exceed our customers' and their customers' expectations. We know builders have choices. We want them to choose us! So while the type of “Overhaul KIT” we bring to market has changed, our thought process and philosophy hasn’t. We’re in this for the long haul with an ongoing goal to bring well researched Overhaul kits to market right and first. We’re confident our kits have the extras rebuilders need. When a builder gets our kit they will be satisfied and be able to complete the rebuild right, the first time.” The good news is the future is
bright for the industry and Precision International. Precision International invites you
