Took my car to get the idle quality better. I end up with a auto tranny with blown seals not even 3 miles later. He says he could tell by looking at my transmission it was stock and that my stall is a stock ford converter. Transmission only has 10k and is fully built with a Tci stall. He tells me that it was a fluke. Said that I took the car and floored it and dropped into neutral and thats what blew the seals. I did exactly what he said to do put it in drive and floor it and let the trans shift by the computer that he set up. Then said that he did turn up the line psi. But to much pressure doesnt blow seals. Then he has the nerve to call me a F@#$in idiot. This dude is a serious idiot and I would not take my lawn mower to him. He has ZERO customer service. DO NOT DEAL WITH WILLIE LYNCH!!!

So the name of the shop is Dirtydirtyracing.com? I dont think I would give a guy a chance at looking at my car with a name like that?

Put the new input shaft seal on and threw it back in there and good as new. $30 in fluid $10 in a seal could have been worse.

Well thats good news man, easy fix. Too bad the guy wasnt willing to at least look at and find that $40 keeps his shop from getting a bad rep...

Why post it on multiple forums when the people from each forum don't have both sides of the story.

If sally came and told me that bobby stole her sun glasses and I never asked bobby about it just accused him of it, then I would look like an idiot. You need both sides of the story before you take any action. And why are you getting your 'family car' tuned? Get an explorer for your family vehicle then you can play with your stang. And establish yourself with a well experienced and trusted shop to get any repairs or work done.

And there we have it.

Please don't come troll over here, nuckollsinc, just because you didn't find satisfaction over on Corral. A lot of guys who are members here, are also members over there and are more than happy to share the rest of the story with us. Chalk this one up as a lesson learned. An expensive one, but still a lesson. Either know what you have before getting work done, or don't make up what you have with expectations of trying to scam your way into free parts, like a shop wouldn't be able to tell.
