wowerrr... thats a huge diff O_O

 

 

wow... what a head fake!

 

That makes more sense since it isn't a Mitsubishi unit and also follows from what I heard from Mitsubishi here.

 

This would make sense here since the techs at the dealer kept insisting that I either had a manual or a CVT when I asked them about what kind of tranny fluid I needed.

Teaching those guys to service a tc-sst would be like teaching that chimp with the yellow sweater how to program C++. At best I would get my face eaten off...

 

At best...

 

The guys at the dealer here are frightening. I'm tempted to take the car to another state to change the tc-sst fluid for fear of having cvt fluid or club soda poured into the tranny.

 

Why are they so bad?

 

Aside from the usual shoddy work (like overfilling the oil by a full quart), leaving oil all over the bottom of the engine area, not tightening the oil filter (there was oil all over it, must've realized right afterwards and tightened it back w/o cleaning up the oil), knocking off both my front wheel weights (somehow) when they rotated my tires during the 15k service, tightening my shift knob so hard the collar got stuck when i pulled it up to shift, having no idea what the twin clutch was when i asked them about it (even the manager said i either had to have the manual or cvt even though i insisted it wasn't either one), having another manager mistake the transfer case for transmission when asked about scheduled maintenance. There's more but that's all I can think of now.

 

And this is why I don't let others work on my cars unless there's no other choice.

 

Oil changes and normal maintainence I do myself.

But I try to hit the dealer at the major maintainence mileage markers, just to have a record.

 

I can understand that. I just hate paying the ridiculous prices for major scheduled maintenance and the risk that you'll get a dealer like the one above.
