Two thousand bucks. A few days later I noticed Transmission fluid leaking in the driveway. I never had a fluid leak. Took it to shop and they said I needed a valve replaced to stop leak. They need to drop the axle (or something like that). I said "are you going to charge me?" He said it would be a couple hundred bucks. Got a warranty for engine job. I think they caused this. Should they be charging me?

I'm going to call and talk to him again and get more specific info, then I'll post here again.

There are dozens of different seals in the transmission. The only way it could be associated with removing the engine is if the leak is either the main front pump seal or one of the axle seals. he could have damaged one of those removing the engine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I think my best bet is to get it to a mechanic and have them take a look, and ask them if it could have been done during repairs. Again, I never had a fluid leak in the 6 years I have owned this car.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
