I could care how it looks just as long as it operates properly and is cleaned nicely that's all I care about. But im still highly disappointed to think that I was doing preventive maintence getting it rebuilt just to get my tcase back whining eventhough it never whined in the first place used the diaqueen oils and everything.

I don't see any issue with your fluid being tested as Shep is not there pumping the fluid into your transfer case at the time of installation

If from negligence you either had not enough fluid, or the wrong fluid, it's not their fault.
Negative my friend I am truely away of how much fluid is supposed to be filled in the tcase along with waiting for the rest of the oil and to double checking it. This is the second time it's being sent back.

You sir are having PMS issues. Put the tampons down and relax. Call Shep apologize for acting this way, allow your CC company to give them their money, remove this thread, and wait patiently.

I promise you Shep is not an idiot, nor are the people in his shop.
No actually this is the second time the tcase is being sent back there you would be angry too my friend if your evo is sitting up too. I bet it wouldnt be a joke then now would it. And not its not jsut 10 days its more like 2 months this is the second month.

You do understand they disassemble, hot tank, clean all the parts and refinish every t case, and tranny they recieve right. As they come into the shop there is a tag that goes with the order on what needs to be done. From there its diassembled, cleaned, hot tanked as stated above and rebuilt, resealed and repainted to make it look all nice and pretty. I highly doubt they gave you someone elses t case. And for you thinking this is some huge place they have parts everywhere in a wearhouse your are totally mistaken. They order parts as stuff comes in for the jobs. Parts from PPG have to be imported and sorry to say those aren't cheap. For rebuilds and whatother misc things such as shims, gear sets, and whatever else that has to be ordered its all done per order.

Use your ****ing head and if you can't take the time to go to his shop and see how small and how much those guys bust there *** to get **** done for *******s like you *****ing and complaining about everything they do cause you can't get your **** done in a day or 2 being your so ****ing special.
Relax its not about taking sides my **** is sitting in that shop for a month the first time when a rebuild or inspection is simple. But if they wanna blow people off and pull triggers then what choice do I have but to return fire. Not whining but you have your **** in tcase in the shop for a simple rebuild which they warrantee but now they want an oil sample?

No im not feelin that ofcourse im going to have the people who are going to take sides what if you were in the same position im sure you would feel the same and that goes for everyone on here wh otook side without understanding both parties.

Let me ask you this? If your tech tells you that the job is done and has been working for you since you started your business, and is very very trust worthy would you take his word? And lets look at it from a business aspect. If someone send you something back for warrenty work and you have 100 more trannys and t cases that people are paying top dollar for to have done what one are you gonna do first? The one that isn't makeing you any money or the ones that are paying the bills?

That is his right to do being ITS WARRENTY WORK.

If I was in your position, I would just let the guy do his work. This is why I have a second and third and fourth car available to me at any given time.
No my tcase has been rebuilt by them already and everything went well with the install. Oil up to level on point and it whines. Did you perfectly understand that? perhaps you didn't. Warrantee work with an oil sample if he would have told me he takes an oil sample for his warrantee work I would have never even bothered with that at all.

The tcase has been reshimmed with bolt upgrades and all the whining should have never happened. I am letting him do his work but I still think its pretty ****ed up has this happened to you or anyone on here as far as the oil samples I need to know asap.

You have to look at it from a consumers point of view I see what your saying. Not just imagine if you work hard and get your stuff done and you shell out money for parts that are well not cheap and you get tcase back or any part faulty eventhough youve done your part by the book step by step so now your inconvenienced how would you feel think about it.

OP,
If you're tired of working with Shep, send your T/C to Jon @ TRE. He's harder to get a hold of, takes longer, but does... IMO a better job setting up t/c's and transmissions. I use Jon @ TRE exclusively. That's not to say Shep doesn't do a great job, but TRE does far more for the money.

I do think you're not giving Shep a fair shake. Try running a business yourself and put yourself in Shep's shoes.... really... think about it. REALLY. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING...AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE. Now... think about how YOU would react if you had a customer like yourself.

So its been under two weeks and you're in panic mode. I think you need to chill out man. Shep isn't a factory that receives a tranny or t-case and gets it done in couple of hours.

Them doing any oil testing that you aren't paying for shouldn't be an issue. I think you should cool off and wait.

I would run it better as a matter of fact im just going to do it myself next time. I given them my fair shake but I expect to be treated fairly as a customer. The downtime I can expect that but with oil samples lol.

^ there's a lot more to setting up a T/C than putting in larger bolts, swapping bearings, shimming the bearing pre-load, and painting the case.

Right there you are saying you wouldn't bothered trying to get it fixed warranteed??
Because if you have a pricey rebuilt part that failed on your customer you would listen to what they say but still would need to check everything. He is sending it out to make sure all oil is what it should have been. He is trying to cover his *** if someone made the mistake of using the wrong oil. No one likes to do free work, and everyone makes mistakes. He is making sure it wasn't your mistake before he takes matters into his own pocket. It should only be once to rebuild it, but I don't think anyone on here can say they have never made any mistakes. It could have been small or big. It happens and IF it is his fault he will most likely fix it no charge. People make mistakes, just take time and talk to him and make sure you don't say anything hurting his business(like this thread and your sig) if it really isn't even determined as to what happened.

Obviously OP has no clue how to run a business and would go bankrupt within the first few bumps his company would go through. Because according to his way of business he wouldn't INSPECT the broken parts that are being sent back for warranty, he would just replace it without a question asked.

OP, do you even realize how dumb that sounds?

You should seriously just relax, call Shep, tell them apologize, and ask him any questions you may have if you're concerned. But looks like they have been answering all your questions anyway.
