Angry Aamco

I have my transmission rebuild in February 2009. After 6 months it starts to break(have really hard time to switch gears.Before it switch to the 4th gear it goes back to 2nd gear and then switch to 4th). I went there the first time,they fix it,after a week the transmission is down again,went to aamco they fix it,after another week again same problem,went to aamco and they told me it was my catalic converter,they were right and I fix it. After that went to see them again and they make a cable adjustments,after week same problem AGAIN!!! I think there is a problem inside the transmission and they just don't want to fix it under warranty,so they make cable adjustments all the time until my warranty expires.
My question is can I claim them to return my money? And if they will not agree to that can I file a lawsuit agains them?
I spend $2600 on the transmission. For that kind of money I expect them to done a GREAT job.

My car is 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.9L

I assume it is the TV Cable they are adjusting. That is just a temporary fix and will ruin a good tranny if not adjusted correctly. I would demand they fix it right or take them to court.

Today I'm going there again to have the cable adjusted. Hope this time they will do it right.

I was trying to go to my local dealer to do the transmission but they require that I have to pay for 2 year warranty.AAMCO gives me a 1 year and after that time if I want to I can purchase another one for 2 years

Sounds like maybe you should talk to a lawyer.

What I am trying to say is, if they keep adjusting the cable it's just to mask an internal problem. If the cable was adjusted to factory specs, the tranny probably wont work at all. And by fix it, I meant the tranny.

I understand what are you saying. I'm sure the transmission sooner or later will fail.And probbly this will happened after my warranty expires.

The thing is if I talk to my lawyer they for sure will bring the paperwork saying that repairs were done.
What they put on paperwork is: "transmission repair under warranty". They don't explain what was fixed.
What would you do?
