Problems with rebuilt manual tranny
My first question would be what exactly what fixed or build in the transmission. Was the rebuild a performance rebuild or a full out hard core race build? I have known everyone up at LG for a while know and they have gone out of there way several time to help me and then some. They have always been more than fair with me on stuff. You said you spent $1,000 on the rebuild. That sounds like a performance build not a full out hard core racer build. There is always a possibility something went wrong with the reinstall or something at RPM. When a shop is willing to help out and make things right, the last thing I would do is flame them on the forums.

+1 for Jason at TDP. Great guy and he knows what he is doing. Not to mention he stands behind his warranties. Satisfied customer.

This is a daily driver car, not a race car.

redsox_ws6, why would you even call BS if you don't know what the car looks like?

If you spent the amount I did only to have to pull the engine to fix a coolant leak due to them installing the heads completely against my instructions. If the rear plug wasnt installed right and the $1800 clutch that you bought from them and had them install got oiled down and they wouldnt stand behind it? If you spent the amount I did to correct these problems and more?
Im glad your experience was better than mine as was others. My car was left with them based on there reputation and the end result was a mess.
I will end my rant with this post.
