I'm not prepared to second guess whats wrong in this particular situation as theres a lot of things (almost all of them mentioned already) that can cause the problems your having It could be a twisted O ring, an incorrectly assembled clutch pack, the oil pump could be shot, It could be the wrong oil pump, If he had the brain out it could be installed/assembled or it could just be the pump seal got skewered when hes mated up the TC.

IF you (or he depeding on your perspective) It might even be as simple as hes got the oil level wrong or theres a crack in the pickup on the replacement filter that he hasnt seen because hes not looking for damage on a brand new part. (just ask Brian Hejlm about the hair pulling I did trying to sort out his gearbox/clutch that only took me 3 weeks)

I'd be asking what his plans are to resolve the problem. I personally would be expecting to hear words along the lines of "Im going to replace the box with a reco unit"

In his defence... assuming hes not had time to do the run in drive he first time you got it he should have given you a list of driving instructions to "bed in" the new parts the autos I've had to do work on have always had some initial quirks as the packs and seal settle in but I've never had them as bad as what you're describing.

And just to be stupid. Is the shifter/throttle sense cable correctly adjusted?

hi , sounds like your alredy into the repair, i have had costly repairs to my d1 engine, we spent 6000 au between parts and machining (some mods) and we have decided before hand if the zf goes, because of the cost, we are going to put in a recon 5 speed and new clutch because of the cost of autos and i would not have a clue if a mechanic was pulling one on my, he could tell me that he had to replace both chuffers and i would not have a clue. thats just my 2 cents. good luck with the build. :(

well the week before last he asked when i can get the car back to him and i told him when he can give me a car as i am not going to be without mine for a 5th time said he dont think there is anything he can do but he will call me next week and sort something out, so he still hasnt called and im getting jack of the box and him not just giving me a car and getting the job done

im thinking about going down the road of getting a refund and taking it elsewhere to have the problem sorted or should i just let him finish what he started

ok what do i do

they want the car for the 5th time to have anather go

im happy for them to have anather go but im not going without a car again i have a job to get to

do i

A give them the car and find a way of getting to work
B ask them for a refund which they have already said they arent interested in they want to fix the car

C take it to fair trading get my money back and go somewhere else
D take it to fair trading and get them to pay someone else

I would be saying if you want to have another crack for the 5th time you will be supplying me with a car if you are unable to do this then you will be getting a refund or part refund...

perhaps you should have a solicitor put it on headed paper for you if they are being difficult

I would be running with dull birds suggestion but I'd do it slightly differently.

Id go calmly, in person, and talk to them first thing in the morning before they get all stressed out that you plan on going to a solicitor to get legal advice. Since you are unable to do this untill tomorrow you'd like to ask what they think of either laying on a suitable loan vehicle, getting in an auto specialist to do it, dropping in a professionally recod box or refunding the job. If they are willing and you like the sound of what they are offering ask them to put it in writing.

Goodness! Is this STILL going on????

Mitch,

I agree with DB and Dave, this is beyond a joke and a resolution needs to be reached:( Either make good the repairs, or supply and fit another trans. I would strongly insist you contact the MTA in this case.
Hope it doesn't drag on any longer:mad:

semms im not just being a winger about it

the secratery called me on friday and asked if they can book it in for tuesday i asked if they are getting me a way to get to work she said no they cant do and suggested i go and hire a car(from my wallet of course)
told her that i cant do that and that i was about jack of this and by noe they should be working something out for me said they are welcome to have the car over a weekend but they dont work weekends(not sure what work they have done)

i suggested that i was ready to ask for a refund and she said that they wont be giving one as they are willing to take out the repairs but they dont have to provide me with a car while they do that as thats not in there clause,
so i think ill call him on monday and say it goes like this

i swap you my car for anather one why you fix mine....no ok reserect my bank balance......no ok ill go call consumer affairs and they can deal with it
