My car is at the mechanics right now, the car would not go into reverse and i knew it was an issue with the transmission. they told me it needed to be re-built. I thought rebuilt meant the whole thing would be rebuilt, now 10 days later, and 3 days later than then they said it would be finished, as i arrived to pick it up, they discovered that some parts that should have been replaced were not, so they have to take the whole thing apart again to replace that part because it will still not go into reverse.
Is this Normal ? to only replace some parts of a transmission ? they are charging me $1300, the converter apparently needed to be replaced also.
Any advice would be much appreciated, i should have been on a trip upstate 3 days ago with my car ! and i feel like i'm being ripped .
thanks so much.
