5 trannies?Holly Sh!t

My 00 has 68k never once had a trannies problem ,maybe cause I never use the ss anymore.The value of the car now sucks but it runs like better then any euro car I have owned .

After tranny 5 went, they gave me a REALLY good deal on the RL + trade in on the TL.

I was bitching pretty hard about all the tranny stuff and they know that my wife has a MDX that will be replaced next year.. so they were being VERY nice to keep me as a customer.

wow dealership mechanics are dumbasses.. while they were installing my new tanny the mechanic ended up torking the transmission bolt to the transmissions mount to much and it ended up breaking and said that they have to replace some heatcoils in the tranny? i would of got my car thrusday and they are STILL working on the car as we speak.. im picking it up at 430 IF they finish.. i dont know what these assholes do in the shop its been 1 week 2 days =\

i told the guy to give me a complementary detail inside out... and when i get there im going to try to get my oil change for free (the main reason why i went there)

any tips on what to say for that to happen?
