    Had my Trans installed with this shop and this is what i found when I jacked my car up. Filed a complaint with B.A.R and waiting to see what they. They never even gave me a invoice. Yelled and curse at me. Blamed me for not picking up the invoice. Pointed the finger at me for the bolt being loose. Not sure what the hell he did to the car.

    Insured.... And speaking of by me paying full coverage im in the same god damn situation cars back in the body shop because 1st one couldn't fix the damn rocker panel right.

    So at the end of the day I have to ask myself why even pay fullcoverage when I could have just as well done it RIGHT the 1st time myself.

    The wheel thing to pull a line from a great movie "well sorry Mr PERFECT guess you never ever make a mistake!"

    LOL chalk that one up to life and yup I fvcked it up.

    ps I hate you all

    Chain replacement was preventive maintenance LOL and flex plate was cracked and tq convertor was trashed. I should have ordered the convertor when I replaced the flexplate. Oh well. Runs fine now.

    There are 4 sub frame bolts, 4 on the driver side that hold the transmission up, two under the car passenger side of the motor mount.

    Thank you!! Did not get the chance today to check it out. If I was handed the invoice today I would have found out that shop rules state if you get your car worked on there you get a 60 day warranty. Oh not to mention an inspection every month for 3 months. But its my fault I didnt pick up the invoice which states this.
