Serious concerns regarding Tireburner163

[tireburner163]

Sorry for the delay in posting, but I have been out of town at Corral Day. I just got home about 10 minutes ago.

One thing I'd like to address right off the bat is that I didn't tell you the transmission had less than 30K miles on it. I told you that it came out of a car with 112K on it and that I was TOLD that it was rebuilt a couple of years ago. I said that I could not be sure of the mileage.

Mark, I have NOT cut off communication with you on purpose. Due to some personal issues at home I have been little where else except work, the hospital, and home late at night to get a few hours of sleep. By the time I got home you were no longer at your computer. I was able to post from my mom's laptop, but she doesn't have AIM and her computer hates the JavaScript my e-mail provider uses. I've also been having trouble accessing my e-mail account from home for the past several weeks. For some reason it just reads Javascript error. There have been spans of days where I couldn't access my e-mail account. Regardless, I gave you the reasons for the transmission being late. Personally I don't care if God himself was waiting on the parts, as my family and the serious medical situation that arose had to come first.

As far as the shipping charges go, I quoted you the price that UPS's website gave me. However, due some scheduling conflicts with the times that UPS was open, I ended up shipping the parts via the USPS and FedEx. I would be GLAD to refund the difference on shipping if you want.

As far as the damaged transmission goes:

1) The input shaft is not "sloppy", it's supposed to have some play in the shaft.

2) I would like to see pictures of the cracks in the transmission. I assure you that if they exist I knew nothing about them and I did not seal anything with calk. What was on the transmission was probably black RTV that was used to seal the shifter to the transmission. I ran this transmission for a long time with no problems. However, if the transmission was damaged during shipping it was insured for $600. Please post pictures of these cracks.
