I would be pretty pissed that my 1700$ rebuild had to be removed and repaired again...
they may have treated you right, but you sure have to go to alot of effort in removing and then replacing the 3rd member, and then re-allignment, on cheap parts they put in... i bet if you would have tried to make them do all that labor they would have balked and thought up excuses, but since you convieniently just brought in the part, they get by cheaply... with them giving you a lesson telling you not to accellerate hard... and telling you it was an allignment problem and perhaps they are doing you a favor in fixing it.
lets see if they stretch out the repair for months...
and they have always treated you well? don't think so...
and now your car is down for weeks due to cheap parts they installed..
i just can't see breaking a yoke on accelleration....
maybe if you side-stepped your clutch at 5000 rpm....
also, if your car is POSI then due to the clutch packs it should move still pretty well since your clutch packs force both wheels to move together.. I would suspect that your clutch packs are fried also after 500 miles.. I would ask them to check this also and see if they installed a cheap pack... see if they give you excuses on this one too...
