I can't i promised to pay for it cause the shop didn't believe there was a problem, I just wanted the car fixed...**** IT...thats life........I'd rather she start fresh anyways. I need to have the brakes checked over closely now too. Probably need to find a different shop because things just never got looked at the way they should have. Believe it or not we never use the parking brake and just never considered it at all. I just thought of it this morning...LIKE GEEZ what a dummy! What was so weird about it is cold it was faily normal...but as it warmed up it got tighter..i still don't understand it but i will once i get a better look at it.

Unfortuneatly the reason the whole thing got out of hand is because the fluid was black...if it had been red like it should have the brakes would have gotten a closer look. Instead the black fluid tossed a wrench into the mess!

I'm going to have it installed and get the brakes fixed and move on....thats life. Cars today are extremely complex.
I'm also thinking there maybe some type of brake line problem or restiction in the rear. I see there is some type of return line for the abs with two hoses invovled at the rear. If these were pulled or steretched maybe as the fluid heats up it is slightly applying the bad pads because it can't return to the master cylinder.
This whole thing is weird because the 1st time i drove after the second repair to the trans my 1st though was...geez it feels like the parking brake is on!

What does really make me extremely mad is the shop acted like my wife was just being fussy when actually all along there was a problem. He even made a few comments about my wife(she's my pride and joy) to me that honestly if i didn't want the car fixed so my wife is happy again would have gotten him a tounge lashing. I have no problem with paying for what i want, but when you have a legit problem that no one actually looks at closely to find an answer you get labeled a PITA.

You're hell bent on just repeating the same **** over and over. **** questions, advice, whatever. You've been working on cars for 35 years you said. You should get with 2009 and make a blog--thats where you type your feelings so people can read them without offering advice. Thats not what this forum is for.

Bite me, i'm glad you're perfect... two shops checked the brakes PLUS the dealer drove it!....this was not a easy thing to find. I guess we should all bow to you because you are perfect! get bent!
Go find someones elses problem to pick on and not add any thing good too... guys like you are a dime a dozen!
You have no idea who you are posting to or the experience the guy who did the job has. Next time i guess we will save all this trouble and just call you up to get you to check the MAF.........

Thanks i can always count on you to help with great advice that fixes my problem. 1st of all i paid him alot of money,he didn't rebuild the GM trans. I have no idea why he gave it back to me like this but he claims he never heard it. I can't afford to just drop this in someones elses lap! He claims the dealers won't fix it unless its much worse?????????? this baffles me because how much worse could it get. That pump areating the fluid is going to **** that pump very shortly and my wife isn't going to be in traffic when it does. I will not accept the car back if it makes pump noise, its that simple.

Seriously, how long do you think it takes a shop to fix a transmission?
Stick with this guy and waste more money, or take that money to a better shop. Thats the reality of it all. I don't know many shops turning down work these days, even if you brought the trans in boxes you could get a decent place to make it run properly.
The problem is you are the decision maker, and you refuse to take it somewhere else.

I agree but seriously i'm very ill, my wife works full time and i can do very little messing around. You think this guy is going to hand me 1200 dollars back? I seriously doubt it. But i do hear you loud and clear. I'm going to hope and pray he finds a bad filter or crack, rubber missing etc and its fixed. Other wise i will be forced to not asccept it back until its fixed. I have no other choice. I may contact another dealer BUT he works wioth a local gm dealer and claims they won't fix it if its just pump noise. Seriously i think he is trying to comvince me its acceptable, he doesn't realize i have a back ground in hydraulic pumps. Shops says" its a tight convertor" BS its air in the pump and trust me that is knocking the crap out od the vanes. Its not growling like this for nothing. You could hear it over the engine! I guess i'm going to be BRUTALLY honest tomorrow with this guy. I know its not his fault but its not mine either. He is in business selling GM remans...he better call them pronto!

Shop is going to check the filter then i'll take it to a dealer to drive. If it breaks then its their problem. The shop has been good in most of this but i think he thinks i'm making up stories about how loud the pump whine was. It was 1 pint low and the trans was SCREAMING loud over the normal engine noises. I added a pint and it quieted down but there is still some kind of pump noise in my opinion.
