Ldub, I was thinking the same thing. Did they drain my tranny of 3 quarts? Was I sabotaged?
This local tranny shop advertises free diagnosis. Sounds great, right. I took it in just over a year ago and wanted new tranny fluid and filter. They said don't do it. My fluid was old and burnt. New fluid, even a single quart, could cause problems. They've seen it happen to others, they said.
Here's a clue for sabotage, the shop manager suggested I drive it until the tranny completely fails, could be a week, a month, a year or more, who knows. Come back and we'll rebuild it, he said. When I asked, he quoted about $3,500.
A few months later my tranny started acting kooky, bucking between gears 1 and 2 was the first symptom.
It's hard to believe they would do this, drain 3 quarts, waiting for me to return for a rebuild. How would they know I would even go back to them. There are dozens of other tranny shops around. I did my online research/due diligence and this seemed to be the best tranny shop in town. Everyone loves them.
Well if they did do it, just over a year later I went back to them for a 2nd opinion to the dealership who wanted to sell me a new tranny, they put the 3 quarts back and didn't even charge me for it. Now my tranny is shifting normal again. It doesn't make sense.
