I think ppal gives you a 45 day window. It took 2 months to receive it. I should have notified ppal before that.

There may be some le-way because of how long it took to receive...

If it was me I'd be on the phone, it couldn't hurt to ask.

I plan on moving to FL in the near future, etc... By the way, do you know anyone that lives in or close to the Jacksonville / St. Augustine, FL area?

The internals told the true story - Crappy, half a** rebuild, & beat to sh*t

the electronic pressure control solenoid is new so much new stuff being replaced
i see a ton of added stuff thats is being replaced even tho it doesnt need to be... that being said ill put a 3rd down on it for this to go away

thins like trans pan and planetary and pure profit... and i gaurantee there is nothing wrong with the planetary or the sensors listed also the bearings i guess are being replaced for insurance purposes.. also pan seal is reusable because i spent the extra coin for that so theres another add on


let me know what you think



This is my reply to the above {I wrote}:

All of that stuff..., needed replacement. The tranny you sold me was patched up - not rebuilt.
I cut & pasted this from your original thread: The 4l80e is an 05 and had 56k miles when I did a complete rebuild 9 months ago (has roughly 7k on rebuild) and replaced everything. Borg Warner high energy clutches. New sprags and 1 way clutches. Complete transgo hd-2 kit installed. Also every bearing was replaced with new. also has new trans pump... I did not cut a single corner because I planned on having this for years to come.

Minus the atf, cover, pan, filter, & seal = $256.60
$1263.30 - $256.6 = I'll settle for $1006.70
So, then you sold me your stuff...for $1673.30 not $2680

Matt, you didn't do a complete rebuild, you didn't replace everything & you did cut corners.

$1263.30 - $256.6 = I'll settle for $1006.70

{Matt wrote}:I made my offer. PayPal agrees it has been too long for a claim. I honestly know what I sold and it was an immaculate trans. If the 400 I offered isnt enough than just knock me on the forums. But to me this is a rediculous scam and I feel stupid even offering 400 but that's max
{Matt wrote}:
I have all receipts. Also I have dated pictures
{I wrote}:Matt, are you afraid to call the tranny shop? Why would they lie? The tranny you sold me was far from immaculate. Matt, go get some help before it's to late.

{Matt wrote}:I have pictures down to even the trAnny bearings I think I am going to withdraw my first offer also. I know what I did. You needed the trans ASAP. Now 4 months later after Sayn u can't go another day with ur current trans this transmission is cooked and non wear parts are heated together. Also you have a list with little things that are fine in the first place added to the invoice. I'm still callin bs. I tried and offered money. even with my opinion that this is a sham I offered money. I'm sorry
