[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 143092, member: 1514"] Something similar actually happened to me in my younger and dumber days. I had this old VW Dasher that my dad had given to us. One day it lost reverse so I couldnt back up at all. We took it to a transmission place who told us we needed a new transmission and that they could get me a rebuilt one and install it for somewhere in the range of 700 bucks. We scraped and saved to get the money up and took it in. 3 or 4 days later they tell me to come get the car...all fixed. It seemed ok when I tested it out but not two days later it tore up again only this time it wouldnt go forward...only backwards! This time I had it towed to the VW dealer who took one look at it and said that I didnt have a new transmission...it was the same exact one that came with the car!!! All the oil marks and drips from the engine matched up like fingerprints. They also told me that if someone sold a rebuilt transmission it would have some numbers printed on it with a code in grease pencil. Ok...I was livid. I got the statement from the VW place and took it back to the transmission place demanding my money back. They laughed at me!!! I ended up having to take them to small claims court. [/QUOTE]
