Default I just got my car back from the dealer today, for the second time........

If you've read my previous posts about the tranny, you know what's been going on. The tranny had to come back out because the front seal was leaking after being repaired. Well I guess they fixed the leak, BUT NOW THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING in top gear at 3000 rpm WOT. I give up , I really do. I specifically called the dealer to ask if the new clutch disc I payed for was contaminated with oil. They said no. Yea right!!!! It got a little better after I heated it up . The oil must have burned off . The glaze won't go away though. I will have to see if it holds up. My experiance with clutch discs is, that once they get wet with oil, their done. Maybe I'll get lucky. I don't know why they would risk yet another removal. They will probably say it's because I wanted the car back for Labor day or some BS like that. I will lose my mind if I have to bring it back any time soon. I hope none of you guys have to go through what I have. Being a mechanic makes it even harder for me to deal with this ****. The tech was pissed because he had to do the job again, and probably didn't get payed a second time. If he has to take it down again.......... Motto, Don't f--k up your tranny . Even if it's not your fault , they will make you feel like it is .

Default Any other dealers you can use?

It really is a blessing to have a competent dealer to handle things thru the warranty period.<p>John G
