???full description?Here are some questions that-if you get this into court-you will be asked.How many miles were on the trans when you took it to Aamco?When you say-limited income- that says you probably informed them you could not afford a full rebuild.Did you direct them to do what they could to-get it back on the road?It is very obvious that you knew you needed a rebuild-if they did as you directed-you are at fault.I will guarantee that a "full rebuild" was discussed and if you declined-in effect you directed them to-get it going.Odd that you have a friend in the business but you took it to Aamco but later to another shop for a complete rebuild????? I'm not a fan of Aamco and have no connection to the company.Good Luck
