Well I finally got my transmission from the gentleman in MN. Unfortuanatly he appearantly
was careless in his shipping preparations. The
shipping was delayed 1 day becuase it had to be repackaged. It also apears to have been bounced on the tailshaft cracking the housing and seal bore as well as deforming seal bore. I JB Welded the outside crack, filed the piss out of the seal housing and it still tore up the outside of the seal. Not Happy.
What really gets me is I voluntarily paid him an extra $25 for shipping preperations and to clean the tranny. The tranny was a complete mess and had to be hot tanked to get all the oil and grease off it.
I am happy to have the tranny just very disappointed in the lack of preperation that was taken. I even arranged the shipping so all he had to do was leave it outside. I also gave an additional 5 days so he could take his time because I know people are busy.
