Yup, what I was going to suggest as well.

An AOD can darn sure be built to withstand a high torque/HP engine.

You need to pay close attention to adjusting the TV linkage afterward...or you'll fry your new baby in a heartbeat.

Bax does your receipt have a warranty period? I don't think you should have had to pay a penny over the initial cost, if it goes to court you should sue for the removal/2nd install/removal again/next install costs/time.

It's time to show up and make a big scene, if he is particularly busy on Saturday's I would show up with Revelation and as many other 4wheeling buddies as you can! Clog up his parking lot and make sure all the other customers know how he handles problems with his work.

Just make sure that TC is in nuetral, ask me how I know..........

BTW, no credit card, that sucks...... Small claims court in Fl??? NJ allows up to 2800$ now I think.

Sorry to hear this again, and you 're right about fighting with someone you've known for 25 years. I hope he comes around to your way of thinking.
Keep us posted.

 

[Revelation]

Is maxie still around? I used to race against him at the drag strip in the 80's

Looks like No but my office is right around the corner from where he was so I will check. I will also check with a few other racers I know.
Nice Hijack too!!!

I cant believe your still fighting the tranny issues. I felt bad about not making it by your place again last night but reading this post gave me the felling it might not have been a good time anyhow.

I'm driving back to Tampa this weekend, why dont you let me pick the tranny up from the SOB and take it to the shop that did my work. He's been in business for 25 years, has a great reputation around the tracks and speed shops. He wont charge you to look at it and give you a quote and you can talk to him on the phone. Maybe having something on paper from a reputable shop will get this guys attention or give him a clue. It could also help if you decide to lawyer up down the road. Let me know.

 

[evil69]

Set fire to his shop. Fire seems to be one thing Bronco guys know how to do well.

Hopefully they can build you a good C-6 for nada and your worries and problems with the tranny are over.

 

[cobralee]

Bax this just makes me sick! I'm sorry to hear about the he!! your going through. I'd have to say that if it was me I would be doing everything it takes to get my money and my parts and take it all to a different builder. These guys cannot know what they are doing. At this point I would consider sending it cross country to a professional rebuilder if I had to. I think I would look into some of the hot rod/Mustang related magazines for adds and talk to them. I hope you get this all worked out man.

 

[mr incredible]

I just hijacked my own thread?

it is easy to do aint it ?

 

[jjwtwice]

How about an email campain on your behalf to the email in the web address provided. I guess we can wait until you to get satisfaction to do that.

I say you get your money back and the free rebuild on the C6 for all the agrevation and you won't trash him on any fourm sites.

 

[bax]

OK I have the transmission. I went to the shop and had a talk with John(tranny guy) I expanded my side of the story and told him that I thought 600 dollars was way out of line. He agreed and gave me the transmission with an apology. The sales man helped me load it in the truck, he said he was glad I came in and talked to John. He said he was not allowed to change any prices, but thought I was getting screwed. So here it is.

We will have to see how this one works.

 

[brian72]

If you had built this from the beginning instead of the AOD, which would have been more expensive?

Brian leave it to you to bring that up. yes the AOD has more money in it. It cost more to build an AOD if you put the good parts in it. The C6 is a bit tougher and not as much needs to be spent on after market parts. yes I am still in the hole on the AOD but I needed an out. The c6 will work.

 

[Mherriford]

Glad to hear you got it straightened out Bax, hope you have better luck with this one!

 

[needabronco]

Bax, is anything on your AOD salvagable? maybe you could part it and try to recoup some funds. I.E. output shaft and 4X4 housing.

I think he returned it for a "refund"
