Got my transmission and clutch replaced today. I'm always weary about the dealership because they might take advantage of a female. How can I tell that they actually replaced the parts? How long does it usually take them to do it?

Thanks,

where did ya get it done at?

 

I had mine done at the dealership and it took less than four hours. I told the service manager I wanted to see the old parts when they completed the job because I needed to "verify the part numbers for my records." Everything was done as stated on the invoice and i'm still running strong.

 

Yup - ask for the original parts?

 

I got it done in Sunnyvale. Got it back yesterday and had to bring it back today!!! Getting out first gear wasn't too smooth. Car felt like it was bogging, a little shaky or gonna die out on me. Is this because it's a new tranny and clutch and I need to break'em in?

 

I'm sure they did the work for you; they may be sketchy at times, but they're no Jiffy Lube. The clutch engagement point may have moved, causing your bog because your leg is used to a different spot for the clutch to engage. You could ask them to adjust the clutch pedal for you if it feels incorrect.

 

I got my transmission replaced last week, and I could feel the difference when shifting into 5th and 6th. And the grinding is gone.

Please tell me the dealership you went to doesen't start with an F and end in an E. I had serious problems with them. Just my personal experience. Hope all turns out well for you.

 

My (auto) did that when the dealer didn't put enough trany oil back in when they where changing the trany oil. NOT GOOD
