I am in need of someone's opinion here.
Recently my engine started making some serious noise and I took it to the shop. They said I had a bad rod bearing and that the motor was toast.
I got a used motor installed and everything about the car is wrong now.
They took out my motor and put in another 3800 from a 2005 Monte Carlo SS - EDIT - Not supercharged.
Mechanic said that it was normal as it is the same motor.
Well, the car does not shift properly now and feels like it has 1/2 the power it had.
He claims my transmission is going out -but it was fine when I brought it in.
I am wondering, if they just switched motors, is there any possibility that the motor and trans are not compatible? Different gearing?
I am at a loss and ready to get a lawyer....ARGH!
Any info at all would be much appreciated.
