A833 Woes and how to paint it

Yeah I handed him the rebuild kit from Brewers. Then later he came back and said He needed rollers (which were in the rebuild kit) so I had to order just the rollers. Then they don't use the gaskets given to them.
The agreement was (based on payment and his assertion) that the cases needed to be cleaned (tail housing had black gunk in it that had folded the original rear bearing).

Obviously this wasn't done. I get that some people won't do the job they're tasked with because they just want to take your cash but it's the time (6 months they had the box) and now the time taking it back to be dismantled etc etc etc

I had the same issue trying to get people to weld a tail loop onto my motorcycle...always skew and the same excuses - 3 different shops

No Brains! If he's a dick about it I'll just Facebook his shop with negative reviews.






You took your Trans to a reputable shop I can only assume .
That said, they rebuild transmissions on a production scale, I.E. internal build , exterior quick cleaning and a fast rattle can paint to make it presentable.

The builder uses silicone as a matter of speed and not having to deal with stocking or ordering gaskets for everything that goes over his bench.

That said, there is no good reason for not using the gaskets you supplied unless he wasn't handed them at the time of assembly by the front office.

OK so much for the shop not blasting the case and laying on a show quality paint or powder coat job like you would. That would cost extra if they even offered something like that.

The final test is the road test , If it works like new, then your golden. Unfortunately for you that sounds like it will be quite a while before its on the road.

So talk the shop about the gaskets and about the warrantee being extended and get it in writing .
