well you already know I got his 'best' trans becuase I like to buy once...
Right from the get go the first time around it shifted exrtremely hard. Every shift felt like I was being rear ended. After a week it softened a bit. Drove it for a month and a half. I had no time to take it into him.
During that month it started to miss shifts and shift up and down repeatedly.
I went with my cousin to have them check it out again. And Art's assistant started givng me a bunch of sh*t. Saying that I ran the trans too hard and was doing burn outs. I politely said, "nope, not in my car. It has a knock issue and I don't even see boost." We both could tell he was not buying it so my cuz chimed in with, " he drives it like a Pussy." So I say PLEASE NO boost at all. In 10 different ways. 10 different languages, 10 different times, I even tried to do it in sign language for him.... Get the idea?
So we leave. I call 3 days later to check up and talk to Art. Art says the trans is in and it was a stuck valve that was causing all the trouble. But its not ready becuase they can't get it to shift at WOT above 4K RPMS. Calmely I said, "well thats because the engine doesnt turn higher than 4k because I need to change valve springs and I have a knick issue so stop what your doing."--Art, "oh......ok well the cars done them."
Pick it up and all seems fine. Shifts are not as hard but dont seem to be as tight. Shift 1-2 seems too fast and not the traditional GN 1-2 shift...
Now a couple weeks later... again missing shifts every once in a while. Holding in between gears not shifting. I know this is killing what little engine performance I have. I have to give it tons of gas to get the car going. I hope its not the engine it self.
I have a feeling Art is getting a little too old and his help blows. The first time I have no idea how they could have let me drive home with the car like that. 3 miles away I was like," did they fucking test drive this?" Unfortunatly its my only car and I need some time in advance to borrow family member's cars.
I will take it back to him when I get a chance. Unfortuantly football is starting and well no time at all.
I will add Art is a very nice guy.
