They have been ripping people off showing them broken parts and crap for years. Transmission shops are a bunch of crooks. That's simply all there is to it. There might be a few honest guys out there but I doubt there is an entirely honest shop in existence. If you have over two people working at transmission shop it would be hard for both of them to be honest. Just the way it works. I don't know why but that's the way it is.I went to see the dropped tranny
they just put it on the lift so it wasn’t fully disconnected
The mechanic is saying it broker in the transfer case or in the body of the tranny
I had to leave so I asked them to take a picture of the broker input shaft
He then said it might not appear broken as it might be broken in the body of the tyranny
If an honest man starts working at a transmission shop he will either quit or become a crook in 9 months.. the other option is to have ethical dilemmas while he still there up until the point he gets fed up enough to quit but the end result is still the same.
Unfortunately they win once they do anything more than test drive and scan the codes. Once they start taking things apart you're in a predicament where you just can't win and 95 to 97% plus the people end up paying and doing whatever they recommend.
The only real way to save money is to stay away from transmission shops.
