I'm asking for opinions here to see if I have a leg to stand on. I think I do, but there are always 2 sides.
In Jan of 2005 I had my transmission rebuilt by a GM dealership in the area due to the trans taking a complete crap around Chicago on my drive home for Christmas Leave. The dealership rebuilt it under warranty, at no cost to me. I drove back to South Carolina. That was a year and a half and 8000 miles ago, and everything was just fine until 3 months ago when the trans got stuck in 5th gear. I took it out and sent it to a company in TX to be rebuilt. The trans was WELDED shut by the dealership, not all of the snap rings were installed, the magnets weren't reinstalled, the bearings were shot and 5th and 6th gears were welded to the shaft. I called the dealership and talked to the service manager. I had the company send pictures of the trans to him to look at. The company that rebuilt my trans (the second time) says they are 100% positive that the trans broke due to the crapy rebuild the dealership did. The dealership dosent want to do anything for me since they only waranty their work and parts for 12 months. The service manager told me the trans went bad just sitting there. Dumbass.
On another note, I DO NOT BEAT MY CAR! It still has the stock rear end (for now) and I baby it. It's made about 15 passes down the track (1/8 mile) with a best 60 foot of 2.1. I have never powershifted this car, the stock clutch is still in great shape.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?
