wow. im pissed
 

So my trans is finally taking a crap. 3rd gear wont hold more than 1/2 throttle, sometimes it wont shift into 3rd....all kinds of fun stuff. A few weeks ago i bought a trans on eBay, got a great deal on it - $250 shipped. I paid the guy, he told me 4 days ago that he shipped it. Tonight i get an email saying this:

So now im out a trans, which my car needs pretty badly, because this guys a ****ing cumguzzling gutterslut.

/rant

But did you get the money back more importantly?

That sucks, guess we may have to go junkyard hunting!

more than one guy bought an e bay trans only to find out after installing it was junk and never got his money back what type of unit was it ??? jz

rebuild the one you have!

yeah i got the money back, but im still pissed off because now my car is on the edge of crapping out, and i dont have a transmission on the way to my house. if he didnt lie to me and tell me he shipped it, it wouldnt be as bad.

rebuilding = more money and more downtime

Thats what you get when you made mad diesel like torque, y0.

That sux, did you ask the guy what happened?

nah im not even going to bother. i bet its because i got it so cheap and he wants more money for it. i replied to him last night with this:

Should have left the "douchebag" part out. Maybe there was a legitimate issue. Either way, he should have explained the situation to you, and not lied to you about shipping the trans.

Sucks man.

www.clubgp.com?

Is it just the bands that are toasted? Ages ago I upgraded the bands to keflar, valve body and shift kit for $500-600

My built tranny though cost me $1200

pretty sure its the bands and possibly the torque convertor

Ohhhhhh, converter will get pricey.

What tranny is it?

Should be the 4T65-e

- Justin

yep 4T65E non-HD

that sux :(

yeah...how much does it cost james? probabyl like 4 grand

Dunno, you could beat up little kids and take their lucnh money????

a local yard has a trans with 65k miles for $500, im probably gonna pick that up next week sometime

I dunno man, after hanging around with GTP guys for a while, I wouldnt pay $500 for a 65k mile one, they usually start to go around that area.

my current one has 142k on it...plus theres differences between GTP transmissions and GTs. and chances are GTP transmissions are also abused far more than a GT :lol:

plus ill be installing a trans cooler at the same time, so thatll help it out some more

If you want the honest truth, if you want to use your car for more than an A-B car, or grocery getter your out of luck. The GTP transmission sucks ASS. My buddy has a turbo GTP, and his has broken 4x on his before he has made 10+ passes

im well aware that they suck...what tires is your buddy using? i should be fine N/A with street tires
