You obviously haven't bought one from TK. I had one on mine. ;)Quote:

Umm sh1t happens/ sh1t breaks good thing you had the warranty on it and I'd at least give the guy a chance to fix it before throwing the guy under the bus and here comes the TEP parade, IMO if its still garbage shortly after he fixes it then maybe their are "better" options.

But still. Warranty on a trans is long enough to ensure proper installation and break in of parts. After that it's a crap shoot based on driving style, torque management and tuning
Btw Im 100% for TK. great guy great builds :)
Did Tim have any recommendations on flushing the trans? Just curious if this could be repaired with out a complete rebuild.Quote:

i would send it back man. if it's got metal running through it could have messed up the internals. so even if it is simply the TC let him take it apart and honor his warranty that way if there are some internals messed up you don't void the warranty by fooling with it.Quote:

i'd let him stand behind his work. and in the long run im sure you will be happier.
Yes I'm gonna run it by him before I do anything. If he's cool with it I'll do that. If not I'll ship it back. Just have to find another transmission locally to put in so I can drive it in the mean time. Sucks because I'm unemployed at the moment
in that case dont put another converter in it, most likely it will be dead too after the metal that will be still in the trans hits it. wasted money if you ask me.Quote:

Yea I plan on flushing before I remove the trans first to swap converters, and I always flush the cooler before I swap transmissions
your talking a good chunk of change at this with no guarantee that its going to last another 1,000 miles, put that converter money towards the jy trans and shipping.
i hear where your coming from, but in the long run you will be so much better off if you just send it back to tim and let him do his thing.
im a big fan of trying to fix stuff on the cheep but the trans is no place to even try to cheep out, especially when i have a warranty that's still active. just my 2 cents.
