Re: [DML] How long is too long?

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

I'd go get your car.  From my own experience, PJ Grady is a great 
place to get helpful advice and buy parts, if they have them on hand 
and are not feeling forgetful.  There has been an instance or two 
where I've had to call more than once to get an order processed and 
shipped.  Sometimes I've made multiple calls and never get anywhere 
trying to get certain parts.  The reason just seems to be that the 
work ethic is not all that rigorous.  

Occasionally, I'm asked if I "need this part right away" or "before 
the show."  Well now really, it shouldn't matter, should it?  If I 
say that I do, does that mean someone else's order gets pushed aside 
so mine can be filled sooner?  Maybe this is how people end up 
waiting 3 years for things, because they're gypped by others who 
*need* things fast.  Did you say that they could take their time 
with your transmission? :)  

3 years is definitely too long to wait, and I'd say your patience 
has really been tried.  I'm not familiar myself with the automatic 
transmission replacement since I have a manual.  A manual 
transmission replacement could easily take place in a 1-3 days, 
provided you are able to lift the car up.  I'd go get my car and 
find a shop who wants to do it.  

This is not meant to discredit PJ Grady as a great place to buy 
parts.  We all need to be "put over the knee" once in awhile to keep 
us in line :-P

nothing done to the car that we know of. It was shipped to PJ Grady in 2001, 
needing a new automatic transmission. We have the credit card reciept for the 
$5000 we paid up front, to cover the tranny and a few other odds and ends.
