Ok so here's the deal. I bought an automatic transmission from PShull727 on this board. He told me that it had been rebuilt w/ 20k miles on it. He also told me it was an s14 tranny. I gave him 50 dollars. Seemed like a cool, trustworthy guy.

I went to put it into my 240 on Sunday. Turns out it's an s13 tranny. Ok fine whatever, I swapped bellhousings because of the tps sensor on the top of the bellhousing and got it all installed. Whatever no big deal.

I get it running and go to test drive it the bitch slips like fucking CRAZY in all gears! Barely enough to get me home. WTF?! So I call him and tell him. He swears up and down that the transmission worked and it had been pulled out of the car 3 days prior to my picking it up. If it worked 3 days before, it should work when I put it in. I'm not stupid, i've been around the block with installing transmissions and I didn't fuck up the installation of it.

I called him to tell him I want my 50 dollars back for working on my car for 6 hours for nothing. He swore up and down that it worked but said he'd pay me back on friday. We'll see if he actually come through on that.

If he does, then he's a stand up guy and I respect him 100%. If he doesn't, then he's like the rest of the douchebags on this website. However I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt I'm hoping he'll pay me back. I will update you all on what he does with the situation. The ball is in his hands right now.

Hmmm, that would be nice to know how it goes seeing he has quite a few things for sale.

To be perfectly honest, you get what you pay for. Consider yourself blessed that you only blew 50 bucks on a bum transmission. At the transmission shop I worked at, I saw people who blew a lot more than that on transmissions they had no clue about.

The moral for your story is to either rebuild the transmission yourself (they're not too hard to do with some practice) or take it to a professional who does it for a living. Don't EVER trust someone's word on a used automatic unless you know them very well and have been in the car with said used transmission.

If you need one i will be doing an auto to man swap in my s13 soon(2weeks ish). The tranny shifts good overall but it is alittle soft in the 1-2 shift which is common.

I think it may need a pan gasket also, But it would get you around/
