ericem Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 OK, well now my dad is angry,FINALLY. Now this tranny shop quoted 1500 for a drive solenoid and clutch pack change, now then i go to floor it didnt shift. THe tranny shop had the car for a month. Then the rump roast there says the problem is the TCU,im thinking thats impossible!! but i cant argue, and the car just didnt feel right. But instead we get this HUGE bill!! for 3000CDN !!!! there nuts, really crazy, but my dad payed the bill. But still these guys are a bunch of ()&^%*&() like there never told us they did all this ************!! there is a really really really long list of crap they did, and the tcu had rust on it, he charged me 700!!! for a TCU with rust on the side? OK, hes a big bull************er. But the problem is i never looked into things until now, when the AWD stopped working 100 percent. But to tell u the truth, i think this mofo's just didnt fill the tranny 100 percent full and thne the clutch packs slipped, and the tranny was garbage. Another thing is the tranny from 1st gear shifts at 6200rpms, when it used to shift at 6500rpms and pulled me when shifting to 2nd gear. Well this is my problem now, how do i fight them? wait till winter? Like if i show it when it's dry outside, what do i do? when i floor it the front wheels spin though, and it acts the exact same with the FWD fuse in, and when it rains, the front wheels spin every so often. Think I should wait for it to rain again then go? or wait for winter then complain? or go ASAP? And when i go what should i fight them about? how the used wheel bearings they installed for 150 were still bad,and cost me 400 for a ABS sensor? GRR:mad:. the frickin car isn't worth 3000CDN!!! LIKE comon! give me a break. For 1200 i could have got a new tranny and engine with under 60,000KM INSTALLED TOO!! and i spent 3000 on a tranny, that doesnt even work properly? Well ill probably go tommorow if it is still wet outside. But it better not work the AWD when i get there, does it matter if the car isn't warmed up yet? OK, thanks guys for reading my long complaint about the Import Tranny Shop, ill post there address and actual name, just for you Canadian's no who not to go to, and where to crash ur snow plows into.

nipper Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 i don't know how things work in Adanac, but if it was here in the USA i would advise a-Write the state departemtn of DMV b-Write the BBB c-Write the state attorney General d-Write any local consumer protection boards e- small claims court (have another mechanic inspect it first to get things in writing) nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 ok, im reading over the invoice now, and it says these idiots changed the torque converter 4 times, i remember they told me it kept cracking every run? But to verify, if the car is cold, and i just back it out of the driveway and floor it, in rain, should the front wheels spin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnlyfnd Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 dont go to the tranny shp doing burnouts. They'll tell you its your fault. No, the tires aren't supposed to spin with conditions like that, but if u go to them slamming the gas trying to get them to spin they'll say you broke the tranny.

So again i ask, should i wait for it to snow, and see how it runs? Im still debating whether or not to change the tranny fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelbteam Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm thinking if I tried to drive my 93 legacy that hard I wonder how long it would last. I need transportation, not a hot rod. We put a 5 litre mustang in a 740 Volvo awhile back and that was a screamer, the rest of the car had a hard time keeping up! Good luck. First and last time I got screwed by a shop I called the attorney general's office and the guy turned out to be a real crook. Luckily I was able to "steal" my truck back before I had to pay their whole bill because I had to re-do all the work. The guy ended up in jail--they caught him one weekend drunk-driving 100 miles away in a customer's car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 lol, sometimes some idiot who cuts me off, i like to get him back , lol but when i floor it from a stand still its kinda cool hearing the tires screach, RRREEWA vrrrrrrrrrmmm ch vrmmmmmm! and im at 100km per hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man did you ever get taken, im so sorry.... nipper lol, im bored, and keep repeating crap, lol, yes i have acually, but i got something easily, and i got taken with the same thing, the car was just out of warrenty, and the tranny wouldn't shift into 4th gear, then 3rd, then i had to get it fixed, but this happened after subaru did a tranny oil change. LOl, but i called subaru, and they fixed it free. they rebuilt the whole tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
