OK TALKED TO THE DEALER TODAY!!!



Because we are a car dealership, we purchased this car with 1300 miles (had 1600 when broke down). Turns out it is the transmission, a $5,000 fix! RIDICULOUS!! We know the dealer that had it before us installed the transfer case wrong which caused this to fail on us. This is not under warranty either.

Currently we are working on trying to get this under warranty or get the other dealership to pay for the their mistakes because this is proven by an evo specialist.

My friend said to check out www.sheptrans.com
Brand new trans with all updates and basic street/strip set up $2750+$85 shipping.
(If worse comes to worse.)

Lets keep hoping everything will go for the right turn here.
I am so pissed off, I miss my baby!

LAST SITE OF HER. ...

 

I would see if its possible to just get money out of the dealership, and then go right to Shep.

Good luck with the dealership. I hate dealing with them.

 

This dealership sounds like a good dealership. They should get the other dealership to pay for it or get it warrantied. If worse comes to worse maybe they will install the shep tranny for free. Wish you the best of luck.

 

Thank you. I am so bummed

 

What dealer are you going through now? When I get back to Ligonier in Feb I want to know where to go and where to avoid.

 

SENDELL = avoid.
BAIREL = all go baby!

 

i wouldn't say the clutch.. i got 43000 miles on my stock clutch and still running strong!

 

Shep TC will cost you more than that on a 05 because of ACD it'll run like $3,300 I should know I was about to buy one then a miracle happened and I didnt have to.

 

Any word from the dealership?

 

man that sucks... I hope the dealer takes care of it especially since another dealer was the one to find the problem

 

awww boooo

 

It is the transmission. The dealer who had it before us ****ed up the transfer case installation which cause all of this to happen as a snowball effect.

I am so ticked off, you don't know.

 

Hope everything works out. I have a questions tho. You bought the car with 1300 miles, did the dealer disclosed that the car had drivetrain problems before? It most likely did if they had to drop the transfer case.

 

Turns out we are getting a brand spakin' new transmission. After all that goes down, I will post pics of it risen from the dead.

 

Awesome man! Congrats and im glad everything worked out for you.
