I do agree with Rusty, I am being way to understanding, and it's out of character.
And yes, it absolutely should have been perfect from day one.
After speaking with Jamie, zero confidence, then spoke to Seth at GFI, confidence restored, then spoke to Christine at GFI, back to zero, then John, the only one to tell the whole truth, and frankly by his own admission the only one who has laid out a huge chunk of change and now holds the bag.
Seth was competent and understanding, but I still believe he was pushed to the side for trying everything to make it right, then Christine took over. The last time, Seth brought it to my house, in his own car with girlfriend in tow, on his own time, 7 hours one way, and stayed for 3 hours or so.
When I talk to John next I will be asking about getting my money back, I meant to when someone called back but it just slipped my mind, I was working. I do keep lists, dates, etc.
The reality is I don't even know who I would get it back from, and that's ridiculous.
I don't mean who I paid, or who should, but sadly who would?
And that's where this is at, for any buyer.
I paid Passon, but clearly, in my mind, he's just a vendor, and a poor businessman, GFI the builder and warranty, and now John comes in as an investor and seller.
My guess is the first two would point the finger at the guy who made the investment that 'saved' this project.
Passon already tried to blame me for the install, and Christine tried to give me crap for painting it.
John asked me to give him time to test it, as it is already in the test car, and if needed and I agree, make it right with his new source of gears/parts.
If I ever sold the trans in my car now, if I had no other option, I would certainly reference this thread.
I should know shortly what the next decision is and what happens after.
Funny, I don't see any chime in with positive feedback, none, zero, zilch.
I hope those who did post that have trans install and test asap, your warranty is running out.
