Horror Story 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Homer on  Wed Jan 24 01:16 CST 2007 [RELATED]

After the new half shafts where installed--the transmission quit on a trip. The shafts had not been done correctly by the indy. They admitted that and again attempted to properly install the shafts-filled it with fluid and off we went. Now the transmission has failed again (within a month) and the leak still isnt fixed. We are probably looking at buying a new box for this 200k+ 95 and im a lil P O'd. Thoughts..? Thanks H

It may not be the Indy's fault. After market shafts aren't always to proper specs and can leak. There have been many who have had 3 shafts replaced before getting one that seated properly.
I suggest you check the tranny fluid on a daily basis until the leaks are fixed.
