got the tranny bellhousing replaced. things they fucked up.
1. My wheels around the lugnuts all the black paint is chipped off. ******* shoulda been careful.
2. Clutch goes to the floor with no effort, much like the ss/tc.
3. Looks like they left a bolt out of the bellhousing to motor.
this was a 5 minute peek just now after i picked it up, with a dying flashlight.



I think your talking about the bolt that is behind the starter. It gets put in from the other direction. There is also a hole near there to inspect the clutch that doesn't get a bolt. In total there are 6 bolts that hold the tranny.

with GM shutting down dealerships that are no longer usefull to them you would think these guys would step it up a notch. I know at my dealership ***** gone crazy with rules and regs.

Some dealerships are just idiots. I got my tires replaced yesterday and today I was washing it and I saw ungodly amounts of chips and dings in my rims...Seriously, I know the gunmetal rims chip but they were just careless when it came to putting my new tires on. The same dealership also tried to put regular oil in my car instead of synthetic!! WTF?!
Sorry to somewhat hijack your thread. I feel your pain though. I hate dealerships.

oh. we had some words. i told the service manager that we both know its bullshit so why lie.
i will give him a few days to come up with something then i will go talk to the owner.

That is stupid if they really think that compressed air can do that.... I would have told him he was an idiot...

See the problem Im having here is that they gave it back to you hoping you wouldnt notice the damage. Just threaten them with a lawyer. Trust me it works.
