You had water in your transmission, and now you wonder why it's not working?

I must be missing something here....

 

X2. X2 on the FYI. Unless the trans has been flushed from day one of it's life your asking for trouble. Water in a trans will smoke it in no time.

 

This is a rebuilt trans.. so in honesty.. it is going its life getting flushed.

As for water being in there.. it worked and shifted better with the water in there. But after 2 days of the truck being in the parking lot I wanted it flushed.

 

Today brought rig into jiffy lube who talked me into transmission flush. I now have no truck! I am so afraid they are going to stick me with this when I have never had a prob at all until they touched it. I am a single mom and literally work 2 full time jobs at this moment. Any suggestioms or support would help me sleep better while carless. Thanks

 

Was it an instant break down? I assume as much as since you took it in today. I'd definitely push them hard about it.

First thing is to write down absolutely everything you can remember they told you so you have your thoughts and arguments clear in your mind.

I would then contact Jiffy Lube about the problem and see what they say. If they agree to help, great. If not tell them you will be contacting a lawyer after an independent transmission shop verifies the damage was done by their service.

Then I would contact a local trans shop to verify the problem, tell them about what happened at Jiffy Lube. Ask the Trans shop for an explanation of the exact problem and get it in writing.

At this point, you have 3 options: go back to jiffy lube with a copy (not the original note) and give them a chance to make it right (legal action threat may be necessary), contact a lawyer and weigh your options, or just bite the bullet and let the trans shop fix it.

I wish there was magic in a bottle you could just pour in to fix it, but there isn't.

You may very well have to get litigious with them, so be prepared for that.

 

i had a 94 ford and went to jiffy lube on a rainy day for my oil change. they talked me into a tranny flush and a rear end fluid change as well. i really made it 1/4 mile down the road. tranny was crap!! i walked back in (im 6'8" tall and weigh in at 290lbs) and literally drug this manager back to my truck. it did not even have a filter on the engine! i got a new engine and a transmission and got the shop closed. when the employees were questioned by investigaters they said they used old oil in somecases and all oil was 10w30 and filters were removed and cleaned and the old one put back on. this was in 1997. the only people that touch my tranny is me or a independent shop. oil changes are done by me or my sons. STAY OUT OF THE QUICK LUBES AND JIFFY LUBESOR ANY PLACE LIKE THAT!

 

i know this is an old post and what im about to say is off topic, but i head the same thing about taco bell

 

Why would you go to taco bell for an oil change?

 

Yea, McDonalds is way better for that.

 

man yall are both crazy!! burger king is the place!!!!!!!!! second choice is KFC!
