Kinda nice getting a new car twice in a week.
Great congrats again.

Make sure they checked alignment!

I picked mine up on the 28th and have a little more than 100 miles on it now without a problem yet so maybe I am good, I hope.

Mr. Snorman,
While I appreciate your positive outlook, I can, indeed, confirm that the sky is, if not falling, at least drooping a good bit.

Your friend and confidant,

No and I doubt I ever will. I asked the service writer and he said they never find out what went wrong and would like to know as well.

Good point I guess. I really don't know how much disassembly it takes to get the tranny out but you have reminded me that I never got a copy of the paperwork showing what all had been done. They said they were having problems getting it all straightened out and I didn't need to wait for it if I didn't want to. Will go back and get a copy just for my own edification.
