Yea, well i wont be selling things to buyers with 0 feedback now . Sucks that you cant trust people these days. Just the mission this crap is putting me through my paypal account is not 100% unlocked still. I will need to call up tomorrow since the automatic recovery system wants to call me on a land line phone. I have not had a house phone in over 2 years. Skype & Cell phones ftw?

Just wanted to share my experience with member Silver3g2000 out of South Jordan Utah.
Bought a 05 transmission from him, drove to Utah to pick it up. I had bought stuff from him before so i trusted his word, being it was late and dark i didnt get a chance to fully look over the trans but it seemed in good shape. I told him i needed something to that i could just bolt right in in place of mine, he told me thats what this was and it had no issues.
Forward to about a week ago i get the money to have it installed and i get a call from the shop saying that the input shaft bearing is hammered and would need replaced also trans was missing most of the casing bolts, so i ended up having to put my old trans back in being i had to have the car.
I made several attempts to contact him , pm's left voice mails , texts with no reply. Finally i get a text back saying to call him around 7 which i did and still no answer. I dig a little info and get his parents number and call them. They claim to not talk to him and dont know how to get ahold of him. Got his work number and finally got in touch with him .
He claims that the bearing should of been replaced anyway and he figured i would of just used my casing bolts. I told him this was not right and i either need some money back or a refund being this isnt what the deal was. Now he is avoiding all my calls, messages etc.
I think im just going to call his work every day till i get some help, i really dont want to have to file a small claim but i may have to
