Wow... So sorry Greg, this has been a nightmare for you, I think your at a point where you need to take the whole car apart and go over it 100% yourself, you might not get this summer driving in,but you can fix what obviously is total novice work before you have new found heartache again!

With shops closing and good work being your reputation..its just plain ignorance and stupidity to not screw up,is it being lazy or not interested? Iam sorry for your troubles,but thank you for shedding the light on what a poor shop can do on a simple rebuild,can you imagine the poor other guys who's cars are there being ass raped and what they will be in for when there dream ride is finished!

Take care Greg...hang in there!...that rear oil shot out end picture made me loose my toast this morning!

No need for disassembly! Remember that I give credit where credit is due... and the fit and finish and assembly it 100% top notch... I'm not complaining at all about that part of the build. I got what I paid for and more in that department.

My beef is with a shop that knows it has issues with a component they bought/sourced/installed/modified whatever.... gets more than a couple of times to resolve the issue... and can't perform.

When I picked up the car this time - I had the opportunity to take it out for a short drive. The very first thing I noticed was the noisy throw out bearing... it was a WTF! They put 40 or 50 miles on the car in the last couple of days and didn't address that? SO do they not know that throw out bearings don't squeal like pigs or do they not know how to fix it? Or did they cause the problem with a poor install and didn't want to expend the time and $$ to fix their FU? I don't know -- but what I do know is -- You don't get away with that with me and if you try to get away with that kind of crap - then in my best "The Donald" -- YOU'RE FIRED. It's a super simple world I roll in... I'm happy with paying for top quality work. I love it! But I won't tolerate stupid - I won't tolerate excuses - and I won't ever be back.
