Since they failed to solve the problem at all, I'd go back and tell them to get it taken care of... For $2000, they should be able to diagnose the problem and take decisive action to repair it, not use a "shotgun" approach like the one they've used.
To be frank, I do not have a very good impression of these "mechanics". They sound shady to me, based on what you've told me..
Well, the thing is, I'm not sure if he actually knows what's wrong with it. I'm sure that after replacing the trans and test driving it as much as he did, he still knew that it wasn't shifting. It was obvious the night that I picked it up that he still knew something was wrong with it, because they test drove it 3 times while i was waiting. I am posting on this board about this to get some advice on what the problem might Actually be, so I can call the guy and tell him what you guys say. It might steer him in the right direction. He is actually the one who sold me the car to begin with (he is a honda dealer)I don't have time for him to keep my car for a week and take it apart over and over again not knowing what to look for. He also gets frustrated easily.
