I couldnt do it straight away as I had a heavy work load last week, and all we used the car for was 5mins up the road to take the kids to schooldid some quotes yesterday- about 15k's away. babied it (the missus was in the car, and I was paranoid now because doubted the 'fix' done), and it started to flare badly. limped it home and 2 streets away it hardly wanted to move. try 4000rpm before it would move. 5kph for the last 200m and outside my house it started to smoke- bad. shut it down and smoke was pouring out from underneath the car, and even out the air vents.popped the boot and grabbed the extinguisher and waited and watched. nothing more happened and when I looked under the car the trans had dumped all its fluid over the road.had it towed yesterday back to bruces and called today to see what the go is. it's rooted. bruce reckons he hasnt smelled one so bad (the whole inside of the car smells). the convertor is burned to buggery.waiting on a report straight from the trans guy as bruce doesnt want to get in the middle of this one- understandably.what should I do? ask for my money back and start again? get it back again 'fixed' and hope for the best? do a bf conversion? I reckon ive been pretty patient over the last month since I got it back 'fixed' and I havent had a whle day that it hasnt caused me trouble, but im getting rather jacked now....

That so called trans guy owes you for a box... plain and simple. Pursue pursue and pursue some more... obviously there wasnt something right with it before handing it over but it was his job to fix it... twice!!! And you paid a good $1200 for his services!!! And the problems you experienced after him "fixing" it were immediately evident, not 6 months or a year later so he should fund your rebuild... at the alternate transmission shop you decide on. Good luck... let us know how you go on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
