Default S&r Ftl

Buddy of had a issue where his car was stuck in gear, took it to s&r and they said it was the shifter linkage cable. So they fix that, then all of a sudden the shifter has mad play. You could literally move it side to side as if it was in neutral or even more so he takes it back, they then proceed to tell him that its the bushings. So they change that out and stil the same problem so he brings it back again. They then tell him its his short shifter so they take it out and put the stock on back in. Same problem even worse so they put back in the short shifter and said it was good to go. He calls me up and tells me he has to put it in second gear now just to get it into first and still has a lot of play. I recommended he take it to darkside. After just a few minutes of testing Drew found out right away that it was the rolling pin in the transmission. 4 times he had to take it back to S&R and they couldnt find that WHAT A SHOP.
Sorry story was so long
