Tranny work

[MountaineerTom]

I took my truck in the other day to see if they would reprogram the tranny so it wouldn't downsift from overdrive so easily when hitting the slightest incline, mostly when traveling on the interstate.  Well, they called and said they found a problem with it.  They had to remove the tranny.  When I went to pick it up today, the invoice said:  Removed Transmission and T-case, found 3-4 clutch piston seals inop around housing.  Replaced 3-4 seals to correct problem.

 

The bad news was one of the tranny pan bolts snapped off while reinstalling the pan.  So I have the threaded part still in the housing, with no bolt head on it.  

 

They hooked me up with a rental until they can get it fixed.  (Their service department doesn't come in over the weekend)  I hope it isn't cross threaded in the housing.  ???

 

I was glad I asked about getting it reprogrammed, because I'm only a few thousand miles from being out of warranty.  I was getting ready to change the tranny fluid and filter anyway, so that saved me from having to do it.    

 

Anyone want to race??  I have a hot rod 1.7L honda civic until the beginning of next week.     I'm just glad I got a ride for the weekend, but I miss my truck.  ???

Lucky on the truck,    , bummer on the rental

maybe you can get some static cling decals, a magnetic wing, and a stick on fart can and see how the other half lives

I know.  ???   But it's the first time I've ever got a rental from them (or even offered), so I'm just glad to have a ride.

LOL, I mentioned that to my wife already.

Glad to hear you are getting warranty coverage.  What dealer is doing the work?

[MountaineerTom]

Jones Chevrolet, in Sumter.

It could have been worse. They could have put you in a POS Cavalier. Maybe they didn't have one running at the time.

Or even worse, an base model Alero.  Gutless, wouldn't spin on sand.
