98 C/K 4X4 Automatic Tranny Problem

[Schurkey]

If he pulled the transmission off without removing the torque converter-to-flyweel bolts, somebody had better inspect the trans pump and converter bushing REALLY CLOSELY.

I would be reluctant to let him work on it any more.

so ol dude got the tranny out, finaly.
we took it to the tranny guy who did a complete rebuild. charge 900 with new pump, torque converter and rebuild kit.
we took the tranny back to the dude to put back in the truck. turns out he did not have the torque converter seeded correctly and tore up the pump.
tranny is back at the tranny shop.

one month later i am just about to go nutts. so much for saving money.
looking for the good in this, just have not found any yet. anyway, thanks again for all the advice. will post when things are complete

For fukk sakes, do not allow that moron to touch your vehicle again. The guy has sh!t for brains.

At least he's paying for the damage he did to your transmission. That won't cost you anything but time.

Don't get me started on what "seeds" he was sprinkling on the torque converter.
