Limped ATS today, ???

[Mike L.]

you did mike, i left you msg earlier. although Ats says they will cover it.

I left you one as well.

 

[MACKIN]

trans coming out. removed pan, clutch material and metal, fluid starting to turn.

less than 9000 miles since ATS rebuild at ATS. pissed.

Post number 17 I told you to drop the pan ,cut to. The chase. There's no in reality tree of diagnostic on a ATS transmission . When they shit the bed drop the pan that's the only tree you need to climb! :roflmao:

What is ATS going to cover? Unless they are going to foot the whole bill plus warranty the repair I wouldn't do it. Myself I'd put Alto clutches in there and nothing else. I do hope your builder can and will clean out the debris which will require a complete disassembly . Box it up and send it to Mike if the West coast is closer. If you decide to use this core and it's not prep properly for a rebuild you'll be revisiting this problem in a month or less!

Good luck

ATS has been great really, they don't technically have to cover squat as per their warranty. They don't transfer between owners.

They will either ship me rebuild kit and converter with core, or I can ship Trans to them and they will cover everything but shipping.

The dude I have rebuilding is was recommend by dynamite diesel here in the NW. That's who does all their high power stuff.

 

[madmatt]

I suggested that, he said why would you want to replace things that arent broken. I sort of agree, since new guts is $5-6K.

We'll see

what kind of guts they wanna use that's $5K????????? wow

ATS guts! Cost a lot of money to in house glue paper on their own steels! Plus the need to recoup the warranty do overs! :roflmao:

NAh I just meant if someone local has to open it up and replace everything it would be 5-6k.

I don't know what a ats rebuild kit costs, haven't looked.

 

[MACKIN]

For 5-6K you can just about get a complete Suncoast with TC drop in complete. Man you'd be a happy camper then! IF I were to do it all over again that is what I would do. :thumb:

If you do this, you will be back here again with the same complaints.

 

[paint94979]

doing the same thing expecting a different result?

 

[MACKIN]

Why do you also feel that he'll end up with the same issues?

 

[quentomania]

When a guy like Mike tells you you have junk parts in your trans build, it's not cause he needs the business, it's cause he knows what he's talking about.

Update?

 

[MACKIN]

Can't still be in the shop can it? Hopefully you had success.

 

[MACKIN]

Still? Or don't want to say?

 

[Josh2002cc]

Maybe he is in jail after visiting ATS in person?
