The trans builder may want to refund.The shop owner maybe totally different on the subject and may find a way to void the warrenty after 1 more try.

Trans builder is a co-owner. There are two guys who own the shop, my builder is one of them.

With how many times your trans has been removed, the bolts have got to be getting loose in the threads. lol

Well, good news. I take the tranny back on Friday and get a check for the full amount, $3418.xx

Spoke with Ken today, he is convinced it's something wrong with the truck, not the tranny, and he told me now he's scared of my truck (too many electronics - something else has to be causing the problems... ). He doesn't want to build me the 80 either, which is fine, because I don't want him to.

So now....let's see some pics of the problem this time:




I have broken more hard parts than soft parts. Parking gear, rear planetary, input drum, and now the output shaft. I can't see how it could be a problem with my truck since different parts have broken every time. Whatever....on to bigger and better things.
