No Ethics lesson, quick help about scam. How far will a M6 T56 Travel with no fluid in it?
How will it behave?
Will a M6 T56 act normal for a few quick movings of the vehicle at no speed? <- car lot moving it from one bay to another>
Will it be able to go for a couple miles and then just quit?
Will it be hard to shift from the get go?
What is the demiss?
If I pick my car from the dealer service, and they didn't put fuild in the tranny, will it act normal for them, but fail when I bring it home?

Depending on how hard you drive it , it may get up to 150 miles or so on it with no oil. It could shift fine right after the install and crap out when you park in your driveway. The shifts would get worse and you would pick up some noise as the bearings eat themselves up.It is not uncommon for the oil fill to be omitted by the inexperienced( most dealers qualify here). Are they questioning the failure? 4qts leaking out would leave a significant spot or witness on the outside of the case. If theres no sign of this and its got no oil its pretty clear what the did( or did not do).

Dealer Phucked me big time...I am picking my car up today after them having it for 3 months.... They have done various things to the car, one of them was to check and replace the tranny fluid. I want revenge.
Im sorry to say that if the original problem was a no oil issue, they will not solve it by filling it now. It is really pretty easy to tell if the damage was done by no oil. What goes first is the "pocket" bearing. The bearing between the mainshaft and the input shaft( in the pocket). It will be burned / heat damaged and may have some of the rollers melted together. Good luck.

Wow I must have missed something here. I also gotta say I don't get the subject title either. Well anyway, you are not likely to have good results with just pulling out 2 qts of water either. Depending on how long it was in there, more than just a flush would be my suggestion.

If you have had a dealership try to fix something for 3 months but they still can't figure out that the freakin Airpump is bad, you might be upset. If you have been without a single mode of private transportation for 3 months because of the dealership and being caught in the politics of it, you might be upset. If you have had your car keyed by someone at the lot because it was forgot about (oh, and btw, they found him and fired him), you might be upset. If you had to take public transportation which consisted of 2, 3 hour commutes each day for the past 3 months, you might be upset. I have had no car for three months because morons can not do quality work, work done right the FIRST time. I could go on, but I am sure you are a complete douche-bag as well and could not get past the first sentence.
Moral of the story is that just because this happened to me doesn't mean that I'm going to go throw a brick through their window or spraypaint their building.
Second, how am I a douche bag? You post a one sentence remark (so you're right, I didn't get past the first sentence
) saying something to the effect that you're hatching a plan to scam the dealership into fixing a pre-existing problem (unrelated to any work they've done) by bringing it in and lying to them, claiming that the problem is because they forgot to fill the tranny with fluid.Now that I'm reading your post again.... I actually completely agree with you. I am an ignorant douche-bag and you're a beacon of worldly truth, virtue, and honor. An exemplary model of what it is to be an upstanding and enlightened human being. I commend you on your superiority to me

And yes.....I guess the subject line didn't spell out enough how I cared what you thought. So yes, that was the plan. I consider myself better than that, and would probably never have the ***** to do something like this to the vehicle I love. If you are ever in the area, we should hang out.
