Exactly he started dissing jerry due to his work environment and praising Drew like he's a perfect dsm master.Everyone makes mistakes in the business and jerry admitted he was trying to correct the situation till he starts trashing him on the forums.If jerry states the part number on the tranny is 90-94 awd some credit should be given that he didnt intentionally sell him a JDM different ratio transmission to screw him over.I think he should delete the thread and deal directly with him and hope he can get something resolved.My best advice is GET ANY GUARANTEE OR CLAIM ON PAPER NEXT TIME.

 

well if jerry such a good person how bout he wright me out a bill of sale for the wrong transmission like he sold me and ill settle it in court and see how they feel about false advertisement cause im not dropping this and im just on here to try to infom people what kind of business person jerry really is

 

1. the cracked cover issue is stupid. there is no way anyone would have noticed the trans had been dropped on the cover. IT WAS NOT DROPPED IN MY POSSESSION. so there was no knowledge of a problem till it was installed. If you want to point out me as ignorant on this then you and drew are equally ignorant as well. how come neither one of you noticed it had been dropped before you installed it? or how do I know the drop didnt occur in your possession before the install? the real ignorance here is when the leak was discovered I was called and blamed like I knew there was a problem with the tranny. drew mis-diagnosed the viscous as being the wrong one for the tranny. he said he had to change it to different size to make it work. when all the problem really was is the viscous was rubbing from the cover bending after being dropped. amazing drew couldnt diagnose this correctly. yes aluminum bends..

2. The real reason you are responsible here is because the transmission should not have been driven 400 miles. It only takes a few miles for the viscous to lock when tire sizes are grossly mismatched.. It should have been noticed in just a few miles there was a problem with rear end ratios. When i asked drew why he allowed you to drive the car after the tranny install he stated he did not install the tranny. that the owner did. so i have been lied to by someone who actually installed this tranny. because at this point i dont know who did.

3 you are definitely lying about the car not being driven after the driveshaft broke. or again I was lied to again. I was informed by miguel that I really should go for a ride in the car after it was in FWD mode. He went for a ride in it. So it had to have a welded viscous at that point. so either Miguel was lying to me or you are.

The bottom line here is the car should not have been driven with the gear ratio of rear different than gear ratio in front. That is like towing AWD car on two wheels. you are guaranteed to break it and that is exactly what happened. again amazing to me that a shop allowed this car to be driven full well knowing all four wheels need to turn same speed on AWD car.

 

you bill of sale is on this forum. the sale ad is still posted. download it and take me to court .I look forward to it. even better send the case to Judge Judy. its my wifes favorite show. see you in court..

 

Actually all my communication about this transaction has been with Drew. I never once have spoken to Richard. not before or after the sale. From what I understand Drew was the mechanic on this from the start. Richard is the customer of darkside. But hopefully Drew will be left out of this. He wants nothing to do with this headache. he just wants his customers car to be happy.

 

hell yea tr home of the sketchiest people.... seriously dude weather or not you knew or didnt know that it was the wrong tranny YOU still sold it to someone claiming it was something else... thats shady you blame him for not looking but why didnt you look? thats not how you do business unless you want to be a shady fuck

 

man i'm glad i got rid of my mitsubishi . i don't miss the drama.lol

 

[quote=Tom N;6028478]Jerry has been working out of that garage building DSM`s WAY WAY longer than any other "reputable" DSM shop in the area has even been around.

[quote] +1 ...

 

I can agree that Jerry has been working out of his garage doing business with mistu's for years even way before I even owned one. jerry has even built my current tranny for me that was better then what it was when I bought my car. As stated above i dont think judging people by where they work out of should make a difference. I personally have had work by both Jerry and Drew and they both do great work. ( at least they have for me).

So lets just hope all this drama can get settled in a way that both parties are happy.

And Oscar your deal with Drew back in the day with your tranny, wasnt with just drew there was others involved. Lets not start bashing people and there business that was with someone else that very well might have been your problem..

 

Hey Tom no offense but it doesnt always mean your a better shop or builder because you have been doing it longer. Ive had both do work on my cars and the work was great.
Ive seen people with little exp and know more about engineering and motors that have a degree.
Ive seen alot of mechanics that have been working on cars for decades and just plain out shouldnt be aloud to even touch a car for an oil change. So I dont think that you should be taking credit away from Drew and Darkside for the few years that they have been doing business. Because Jerry has been doing it for twice or three times as long.
As stated before thumbs up for both guys. Since I've had work done by both will continue to have work done by both if needed.
I just feel that Tom who has not had work done by darkside shouldnt make it sound that Jerry is the only way to go.
