aurum

My transmission has never acted right after being replaced by a Chevy dealer 3k miles ago. It looks like the transmission was jacked up on the trans pan so it now has a large dent. I would like a suggestion where to take it for a diagnosis.

Thanks!

For what car and year?

the dent could throw off the fluid levels n pressure. so the trany would have a harder time getting into gear and holding one.

The transmission was replaced with a used one under my protest that the torque converter be changed too. They refused but I think that they didn't do a stall test to adequately diagnose tq problems. It now shifts excessively 2-3 at 20mph and from stops the engine rpm will go up to 3000rpm with minimal car movement let off accelerator and then reapply accel fixes tq lockup and car accelerates normally (related?). It was a 3month/3000mile warranty from Bellevue Chevrolet. The reverse gear went out after 1 month of owning the car. Now I need to examine possible legal actions due to improper transmission install. Dented trans pan from jack, massive damage to front control arm mounts looks like they took a jackhammer to both side to gain access for removal of old transmission. I also now have leaks in the rear output shaft and front/rear diff seals. The transmission vibrates up and down 1"+ when spining wheel then stopping by hand on a lift. Who around Seattle is the best to diagnose my cars transmission problems?

Thanks for any input!
