all this 3rd gear shifting bs aside, warranty is valid where the work is done if nothing else has been done to the part or surroundings. Thats just my take on it, and GM's, and fords, and dodge, and honda, and toyota, and subaru, and bmw, and mercedes bens, and VW, and land rover, and jaguar, and kia, and mini. Im sure some "other" places have this same spin on things. but who knows, we could all be morons. Not saying its not crap, just saying it IS how "warrantys work". Not to mention that sticker on all electronics...made so if you open up the electronic the warranty is void...yeah...I wont list all the companies that do that cause its borderline all of them.

well louis thats what he wanted to hear... he just wanted to shed some light on the situation and get yalls attention.
but 100% you have not seen this car racing on the internet if you have please show us cause someone stole it and was out racing it and put it back...
and also at this point no one is arguing the price of parts, granted he was upset at the time when it messed up a second time. but all that aside lets just get the car fixed...

AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS? WTF EVERYONE
I KNOW HE PULLED IT
HE VOIDED THE WARRANTY BY WORKING ON THE CAR
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
READ MY POSTS DAMMIT
IF YOU OR A SHOP SCREW WITH SOMETHING ANOTHER SHOP DID, THE WARRANTY IS VOID IMO. JUST LIKE IF YOU **** WITH A FACTORY WARRANTY CAR YOU HAVE VOIDED YOUR WARRANTY.
maybe you guys can read my **** if its in caps...unreal...

Anything can go wrong when installing a transmission... clutch may not be aligned properly, things like that. LG doesnt know that. It would have been better if he brought the entire car in for the work, that way LG can install it themselves to make sure everything went ok.... but he didn't and now LG comes off looking like ******** because they want to make sure that what went wrong is actually their fault. They have been in business for a long time, I am pretty sure that their diagnosis can tell the story of what went wrong.
EDIT:
With a comment like that, a thread like this shouldnt be necessary... anyone that works at a shop knows how worthless those are. Makes you wonder what else went on during the multiple install/removal of a transmission.

The car is being towed here and Like I said, if it is something related to what we did, Its on my dime. If I tear it apart and it is not related to what we did, it is not on my dime. Either way, Im taking care of it.
You guys have to understand here- How many shops have you guys seen come and go in DFW over the last 6 years? Almost all of them. You can bet your bottom dollar we will be here tomorrow, and next year, and the year after that. You cannot stay in business long if you do the wrong thing, and we make sure that we do our best to do the right thing. Some customers may want to think that they are right all of the time, but that isnt the case sometimes. Its a fine line we walk, stay in business and charge a fair price, or be a "nice guy" and not be here next month....

Very well stated.

If you are going to get something fixed, then use the same shop for everything if you want to hold on to a warranty.... ESPECIALLY for aftermarket parts.
Guys im flipping out cause youre not reading what I type, not that you arent agreeing with me, furthermore emphasizing that youre not reading anything.
I know he took it out himself, since my first post. that was the ENTIRE POINT OF THE POST. then he chimes in "no shop worked on it, I did" RIGHT I KNOW, I SAID YOU OR A SHOP.
Anyways, I didnt say LG didnt **** up the trans, could be? My point is dont it WAS ok, you took it out, put it back in, and its f'ed up. Could of been bad timing, could of been your fault, could be lg's fault. IF you had LG do the work on the clutch/flywhee, then id be on your side with LG doing all the work 100% for free. but you were the last to touch it, imo, its your problem now.
side note:
this guy and I can relate

Sounds to me like I knew exactly what was goin on...then you tell me to read...after not reading my post...
Spend some time on this site instead of ls1tech for a while...all of you in fact... http://www.starfall.com/
You should have brought it back to LG if you weren't happy; not tinker with it. You had a warranty, it would have made sense to bring it back to the shop that did the work in the first place.

Ive seen videos of you racing online, so you cant tell me with a straight face that you dont beat on it. You also had issues with your hondas 3rd gear, so we are a bit skeptical when it comes to this issue. As a business owner, you have to be, otherwise you will not be in business for long.
