He said that he did finish rebuilding it but I can't trust his word. Every gear was slipping when I left his shop. It started to smoke.

Jason at TDP just did my clutch about 2-3 week ago, dropped it off at 2 pm and was done with it by 7pm. He mentioned he doesn't rebuild autos, but he may be able to install it quick. Great pricing as well.

Yeah I called him yesterday and he doesn't work on autos but he would put it in my car. But I need someone that would look at it too, b/c I don't even know if he rebuilt it.

Did you have a written agreement or did you just hand him cash and your tranny?

I personally would send a ITS letter (intent to sue) and demand your money back minus what was spent on parts. I'm not an attorney, but I'm pretty sure when you pay for a "rebuilt" tranny there is an understanding that the tranny be properly rebuilt and work which it obviously doesn't.

Maybe a stupid question, but did you demand your money back? (Don't ask, don't get)

Yeah I told him. He had my car at his shop. My Bro told him to give me my car back ( my bro had to get in it b/c Mike wouldn't answer my calls anymore ) and Mike said I'll give him his car back but I won't give him the money.
