88: Did you get that whining issue resolved with your new gears? What did the shop say?

Well, it still whines. And I never called them because I drove past there the other day and my friend beeped my horn (sitting in the passenger seat) and yelled "f*ck you, you guys suck *****!". So I dont think they are going to be willing to help me out at all. Its fine though because Im eventually going to get new axles and have a new diff put in. I will just have them checked then. Anyway, I think I was being a little over the top before, I havent even noticed them since lol I was just really pissed. But I still say f*ck that place!

No, not at all. I didnt do it though! lol But I wasnt on their good side anyway because I b*tched out their secretary and I called them twice a day everyday when they had my car. But its OK, they truly are all d*cks over at that shop so it didnt bother me none.

Why whould you even go there if you knew that they were drouble? This is you car your talking about here(CRAZY)Anyway I would take it right back there and have them correct what ever needs to be done to correct those gears before the whole thing falls apart and you have a real problem than.........Good Luck
