I'm not talking about the dealer's crap service. The car was used,
modified, and-one has to assume-most likely abused. There is no way I would buy a car like that, or have the nerve to complain about it to my fellow enthusiasts. -Wrath |

The car isn't really THAT modified, just gears and exhaust. Everything looked fine, but I guess looks can be decieving. Oh well, lessons learned. The new engine was ordered today though so hopefully they can get that right and have it back in action on Friday. Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT |

> > Yabut, are you sure this is from abuse or such problems, or is it a > chance tranny outage with crappy repairs because it was dealer warranty? > Its a case of a really bad transmission mechanic. Up until last time I had it rebuilt the same guy was on it because the service writer swore he was the best. The first time I brought it in I called the service rep and told him it was going to break again because it didn't feel right. He swore it was perfect and nothing would happen. 2 weeks later he received my car on a tow truck. He claimed the culprit was a faulty snap-ring....right. Well, after they fixed it again, I was on the phone with him again because on the way home it grinded 4th once and made noise in 5th. They couldn't find anything wrong with it and once again swore it was perfect. I said fine, i'll bring it in again in a couple weeks. Well, 3-4 weeks later I bring it in and demand a different mechanic. I finally get it back and every gear is supposedly replaced and everything in it is supposedly new. Well, it finally feels right, but now the rod knocks, lol!! I just hope they get it squared away this time. I really do like the car alot. Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT |
