Yes lets hope so ,but it looks badly pitted to me .I only looked at it and walked away after taking pictures . Nothing I can do about it ,thought customers parts would get looked after better than that .looks to me it might have got left out in the whether. 33 minutes ago, johnxr6t said: Hopefully this doesn't delay things much for you mate and did you expect your pallet to be kept inside haha? What was the reason for the delay for the box again? I cant be bothered reading back but I hope everything goes smoothly from now!! Looked to me the box and flex plate may have been on there the whole time ,till it got rebuild .no idea why there was such a long hold up .in the beginning he said if I can wait till he has got some other customers boxes bone he would appreciate it which was ok with me but then it got to Christmas and I asked it to be done as soon as he can .then I gave him a month then another month and then another month .and now it is here .all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 25/05/16 08:00 AM Share Posted 25/05/16 08:00 AM You just can't catch a break mate. The trans shop should be ashamed of themselves. Such a blatant disregard for the treatment of customers parts. I wonder what they would accept the part, if the tables were turned. VERY poor form. I almost feel embarrassed for them... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
