the crap gets deeper on fixing my car

[OrionBrazeal]

well I went to go pick up my car yesterday. I still dont have it. I took it for a test drive and the transmission is all jacked up. It a AODE they tried telling me it was a aod and I was like your dumb. the electronic over drive wasnt hooked up. and it took forever to kick in axcelerating from a stop. it has like a 4-5 secound delay. anyways I called the insurance nad I have to take the car up to this trans shop and they are going to tear it all down and see if my transe was jacked before hand or due to the incident. This shop I was going to get my car from said they did a flush on the trans and found alot of metal in it. I am wondering if hydro locking the motor causing bent rods would also have some effect on the transmission. The trans was fine before this mess. I swear one big head ache and I want my car back and running. so darn ugly coming back from deployment.

Man Ryan, sorry to hear you're having these probs...hang in there...gitter fixed.

[88GT]

Good luck man. Not sure about the hydrolocking would hurt the trans or not

[MrsMystic652]

dam..that sucks. Hope you get it straight soon.

[OrionBrazeal]

yeah it dont look to good.

[OrionBrazeal]

If I do have to get it fixed at my expense I think I will just take my car back fromthem and then put a built trans in on my own.

well got me some better news. I had forgoten Ihad a extended warrenty on my car still so I called them up and they said oh yeah we got you covered and in fact instead of fighting over towing the car and having my insurance say if they will pay or not. my warrenty company said they got it. That just made my day.

[speedfreak87]

That's awesome! Now if you had just remembered you had that extended warranty sooner???? :lol:

It never fails, things you forget always come back to help you out. When you need it most anyways.

[OrionBrazeal]

yeah I was doing a little dance when i called up and found out its all good. whats funny is its a close call. cause my warrenty expires at 86000 miles and I am right now at 80000miles.

[OrionBrazeal]

well I got in touch with the trans shop and the warrenty is fixing it so its all good they said yewsterday my car will be done today. so knock on wood/ cross my fingures/ pray to god/ anything to hope its all good and done. I want my baby back. one month without my car has been torture and I dont wish this on anyone.

[OrionBrazeal]

she is back and in business. definatley needs a good cleaning though. they left her all dirty.

[MrsMystic652]

what is with shops..I haven't seen a shop yet that will give your car back clean liek when they got it. I had to leave my Mystic at a shop for 4 days..yeha didn't sleep much those 4 days, anyway when I took it to them I just left the car show...she was very clean. I go pick her up HOLY bejesus she looked liek she was in a freakin sand storm and had HANDS PRINTS ALL OVER THE FRONT!! It was so bad I had to go spray her off before heading home.

Glad to hear all is good with your car!!

[OrionBrazeal]

well got the car back. the shop that did the motor and interior will never touch my car again. they didnt hook back up everything in my interior. my fog lights, the cigarete lighters, the O/D button on the shifter. its some jacked up stuff. that and my addapter for pluging in my MP3 player is gone too. man I want to kill those SOB's. I guess thats what i get for taking my car to someone on the south side to work on it. I guess I cant trust USAA's word on suggested shops.

[my86gt]

you should let them know about it, they might not know what kind of work is being done to their customers

[OrionBrazeal]

yeah I am going to contact USAA on this a bit later.

[OrionBrazeal]

well I didnt have the time to take my car back and be missing it for longer so i fixed there mess up my self. its all back up and working great.
