The auto transmission guys have had my car for 4 days doing a 2.3k rebuild. Was suppost to get it back today but instead a call saying they could not get the car working. Worked sometimes in R, sometimes in D but never both. He recons he does not know what is going. Said the tranny is very fragile and complicated with one component doing several different jobs. So anyway they are taking the thing to bits and going to problem solve.

As a side line issue, it crossed my mind that for the extra work they may ask for more money, not having an exact understanding of mechanics and what to expect of charges/fees, if he does ask for more is this fair? If not, what would you do, refuse altogether. And what if they dont get the tranny working properly?? do I pay a bit of money, the full amount. This could become complex (i hope not) but just want to be prepared with some levelheaded advice from you guys. THANKS
