View Full Version : Cherry Hill Transmission is screwing me!!!
Go here for most of the story
http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=3582620&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1
Here we are 2 weeks later & I still do not have my car back. $100 says they laugh at me when I go in there to pick it up (hopefully sometime this year) and tell them they should pay for my rental.
I got the same bs runaround again today. Oh yea, I'll have my guy stay late today to finish it. Bullcrap, my car sits outside in the same spot. I am calling tomorrow and telling him that the car must be completed today. I won't mention court or anything, but if it's not done I'm going to find out what I need to do to file in small claims. The shop is Cherry Hill Transmission. God help you if you ever decide to have them do work for you. Everyone I know will be told of this horror story.
I got the owner's name off the net. I just need to find some contact info for him.

There's a difference between a delay & giving me the run around everyday for 2 weeks straight.
Not worth the stress? Perhaps you'd like to pay the rental that I have had to pay for for the past 2 weeks then? :nod:

they rebuilt the tranny in my old 1990 Ranger. I wish I could honestly remember how long it took them but its been years. I didn't think they were that bad ..... guess i was wrong.

and if that was the case, I would hope the owner would have the integrity to call him as soon as they ran into a problem to let him know and keep him in the loop. yes things do happen, but thats no reason to lie to a customer.

This isn't for an f-body & suggestions for elsewhere do me little good now, but thanks for the effort.
dealerships gave me the run around for 6 weeks on why my truck wouldnt work in 4wd... finally they realized 3.73s and 3.42s dont mesh

if it says they inspected the problem area in the warranty agreement and it was found to be a problem shortly after, then you have a case. you really should notify them of any problem as soon as it arrives and since you waited this long, they have a case against you as well now. your only chance is now trying to work out a compromise with him or taking him to small claims court. and i think the whole "no other ride" excuse isn't too good for not calling him back. most people have no other rides besides their current cars but they make do when their cars are in the shop.

I waited this long? HA! I took the car back in there & the jerkoff that took it for a drive said he found nothing wrong.

Im confused as to how planetery gears would break unless there was insufficent lubrication going to them, chances are they were inspected and when the transmission was reassembled something was inhibiting ATF flow to the drum... im no trans expert but i personaly havent seen any broken planetery gears but one time in a ****** glide and that was behind my dads big block in a 3200 camaro running low 9's

Wow, their are tons of members on here that need to find one good trans guy. lol
Only trans guy i will EVER use is CP transmissions in little ferry NJ, like 2 blocks off rt46. They've done our crown vic, dodge ram, jeep grand cherokee, my iroc T5, and fixed my caddy STS. All were perfect and very good prices. We did use a local shop in my town, Closter Transmissions, for a 91 dodge caravan, and my GTA...both those had issues and had to go back for major repairs.

i dont know if i can just take that for what it is. you feel like there is something wrong and he drives the car and says he cant find anything. i think the idea is once you find something wrong you need to find the problem asap. i'm not trying to cast stones, i'm trying to help. example, my sister bought a new car and it was making a clunking noise from the rear. the shop couldnt find it from when they drove the car and when they put it on the lift. so i drove the car while he sat in the backseat and i pointed out the noise and he was able to pinpoint where it was coming from and find the loose part. persistence pays off my friend. :)

I explained to the ******* what it's doing. Moving on...
& here we are over a month later & i still do not have my GTP...
They also want to charge me about $400 more for ****

Seriously, if you can swing the tow cost take it to Eric at Dynotech. From what I gather he is one of the top shops in the nation for 4T65-HD transaxles. On par with ZZP out in Michigan. He did the trans in my '97 GTP and it is fantastic.
I went & took my car back on Monday. Of course, she still does not shift right. They are saying it's because of the Intense PCM I have in there. Funny, that was in there before the 1st time you had it & it hshifted fine then.
They also broke the visor on the driver door. He is supposedly ordering a replacement for me. Have not heard from him on that & SUmmit takes 2 days to ship to NJ.
Today the tranny got worse. Now it doesn't wanna go into gear when I put it into D every time. I have to manually shift sometimes & it still doesn't wanna catch then.
I put the stock PCM in today & no change.
Come Monday I will be disputing all charges from this shop.
Anyone want to buy a '99 GTP w/tranny problems? I'm done w/GM for a long while now.
lol now its gm's fault? must have nothing to do with mods or a garbage shop working on it

Intense's stuff is way too hit or miss for me. My DHP was fine, then I got a custom tune.

You obviously don't know that the trannies in these cars are a well knownweak spot b/c GM f***ed up.
Thanks for playing.
Back to the topic at hand, thank you.

My Intense PCM was always fine.
As you can see, it was not the problem w/my car.
To top it off, I lost every gear except reverse last night. THis shop does great work!

Regarding Intense's stuff, I've heard horror stories about their LSD's, rockers, and their PCMs (creating too much KR)... I never chanced running their stuff myself. But if it has worked for you so far then it should be a non issue. Unless it changes shift points and firmness.
Anyway, back to your post. It's a garbage shop, like you already know. The transaxles aren't the greatest but they certainly aren't total POS's. There are plently of these cars on the road, and many of them are modded up. I had around ~120k trouble free miles on my '97 GTP before I brought it in to get freshened. It's been flawless the entire time I've had the car.

I am not taking sides just putting things in perspective :nod:
It stands to reason that anyone who races a vehicle whether it is GM, Ford, or any other vehicle knows that things will break. Usually it is always the weakest part of the vehicle. I really think that it is unfair to blame an entire vehicle manufacturer because something on a vehicle was broke due to racing or abuse of any vehicle. 8-)
For instance my T-56 is F'd up right now but I also know it was not a fault of the manufacturer or the tranny but because of my driving habits which is why I don't complain that it is GMs fault.
I really do hope that you get all of your issues worked out so that you can continue to enjoy driving these vehicles. :|

Jesus F'n Christ this thread is still active?!! Go to the shop...tell them you want your tranny fixed.....talk to the manager.....be nice,don't kiss his ass, but don't tell him to go F himself.....try to work out the problem......if they "fix" it and it breaks again, get an attorney. Don't tell the shop you're getting a lawyer.....they'll laugh it off-everyone says they'll get a lawyer. Actions speak louder than words. Or do what the guy that got screwed by Cherry Hill Dodge did, drive around with signs on your vehicle saying"Don't go to Cherry Hill Trans....etc.etc" Or call Fox news for help.

Goto Fox news' website and look for the "what's bugging you". or get ahold of their newsguy Dave Schratweiser. He goes after all the political corrupt and the buisnesses that are screwing people.

Fox might be a little more intimidating, don't ya think?
not too many people i know of watch 12
I just got done emailing Fox, NBC, WPVI & KYW. :D
no, i didnt know about gtp transmissions....but i know ive broke my ta and i know my 12k mile transmission in my brand new truck already had to be replaced, and im not crying about gm.
your basically just a tool that has to blame someone for everything, you should take everyones advice and either buy a new trans and put it in, or take it to a better shop..
if you refuse to do that, go cry somewhere else

Filing a lawsuit and serving papers is the most intimidating. Which I think is a completly acceptable course of action in this case.

You seem to be just an e-thug that lieks to call names behind his keyboard. Let's go over my GM problems for you though.
My Camaro started making some weird ass noise that no one could figure out. Then it didn't start after it rained & crap. No, not the opti b/c I replaced that.
The sunroof on my SC2 just stopped working & it gave a bs SES light all the time.
My Cavalier was a POS.
My old 98 GTP had tranny issues at 6Xk miles. Luckily someone ran me off the road a month into owning it so it was totaled.
My current GTP is junk
My current TA has an issue too!
Thank you for playing my game. I win. :rofl:
Don't troll my thread anymore.
Called the shop today to tell them the trans took a **** again on friday & that I want a full refund. He's like I told you it wasnt set right blah blah so I told him that was bs & I put a stock pcm in & no change & then he says he'll fix it so I said you had it twice once for over a month you really think i'm gonna bring my car back there? I need to be refunded every penny. Then he says he will call me this afternoon & asks for my #. Of course he never called. I filed a complaint w/the bbb now & also contacted all the local news stations.
I got the dispute started w/my cc on the $428 charge, but i did the $1,364.25 on my debit & they say they won't dispute it b/c it was not a fraudulant charge. So I may be out that $ unless I file in small claims or whatever.

my sister's lexus is only a year and a half old and has already been brought back for service multiple times including an annoying clunk in the rear suspension the dealer cannot locate and an annoying squeak in the dash that they also can't locate, along with some broken interior panels. its not just GM, every car has problems. my buddies Saturn has 282k miles and is running like a champ. starts on the first crank on a stock, never rebuilt motor. its all about luck and maintenance.
good luck with your trans, i just got burned for 900 bucks on ebay. it happens, sometimes you just gotta fight until you have to just accept defeat and then write off your losses. but in any event, good luck to you.

id hate to be an ******* but you seem to be a tad close minded. as far as the camaro goes if no person can duplicate the problem, then the problem to that person doesnt exist (ie a noise). if it was a constant noise, i odn tknow who you took it to but they shouldnt have given up so easily. and as far as the opti goes doesnt mean the new part wasnt bad or that it was installed right.
that goes into everything else. these cars were built, not created, so they are far from perfect. you just happen to get lucky with the ones that turd more often, or it doesnt get fixed right the first time by whoever does it, like in your trans case.
talk to an attorney.
