Let me tell you you’re about to be really upset because this customer has paid good money twice to have is transmission rebuilt and there is nothing built about this transmission. It’s been out twice and still has the factory convertor. Transfer case tear down coming soon don’t want to miss this. I hope everyone enjoys thanks for watching. 👍🏼❤️🙏🏼

      @@BB-rn6so It's awful up here in Seattle. Every shop I've dealt with is full of thieves, even the tire shop franchises. Took my car in for brake pads once, they came back and told me I had to replace the rotors and calipers too, at $1400. I went home and changed the pads myself, and measured the rotors while I was down there. They were WAY within tolerances, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the calipers. A different shop once told me that $900 each for tires on my 2010 Sonata was a totally normal price and I shouldn't bother shopping around.

"Will you give us permission to take it apart and inspect it"? Never mentioned the charge. Came back saying it was the 3rd and 4th gears slipping. He wanted to charge me 3k to fix it. I ended up paying the $900. After some youtube videos I figured out it was the solenoids. The part is about $200. The dishonesty is brutal out there.

    To me that looks like a junkyard transmission. I remember back when I was quarter miling and I had a gentleman build a transmission for me he guaranteed it for life no matter what he also was a fierce competitor in quarter miling he was Semi-Pro and owned his own transmission shop. I can tell you the first transmission he put together for me was not so good, the first time out it blue right at the start line. But you know what he took and loaded my car on his trailer left his car there and took it to the shop a week later I had another new transmission no charge of course. Let me tell you that transmission that he put together held up for three grueling years then I sold the car so I don't know how long it lasted after that but he did a fantastic job. That transmission that you're working on right now looks like the exact one that is in my 96 Silverado, and I can tell you I have not had any issues with that transmission. Although it is just a two-wheel drive. Great video guys really informative keep it up.
