5 weeks ago my trans went out on my '95 Riviera and I was stuck out in the middle of nowhere. AAMCO was the only shop around and I had to have it rebuillt at the cost of $2900. With less than 500 miles on this rebuild trans it goes out again. I bring back to AAMCO who has now had my car for 11 days and they tell me my trans went out again because the differential failed. They say since the differential is not part of the trans they would not normally cover this but out of the kindness of their heart they will this time. Is the differential part of the trans? AAMCO says it is an external part to the trans. Also I have had to rent another car for past 11 days at a cost $450 which AAMCO says is their policy not to cover. This has been the worst mechanical experience I have ever had. I would strongly urge everyone to avoid AAMCO because they will not treat their customers properly.

2900? thats outrageous for a standard rebuild. and IIRC the differential is an external part , but unlless you've been driving it very hard i dont see the differential failing on a stock 95 riv like that.

Every AAMCO is independently operated, and will have different levels of quality and customer service. I had a trans rebuild at AAMCO about 3 months ago for $2100 out the door. Mine was totally trashed. They told me it was one of the most involved rebuilds they've done without a replacement. They replaced a lot of parts, including the torque converter. So for as much as they charged you, it might have been a previously remanufactured unit that replaced yours. That means your trans was beyond repair (according to AAMCO).

The differential is separate from the actual transmission, but they are able to inspect it (and they should) when they remove the unit. If yours failed so quickly, it is something they should've caught during the rebuild, or [i]very possibly something they caused[i] during install. My AAMCO rebuilder checked mine to be fine. Your guys knew they were in the wrong; it's the reason they are fixing for free, imo.

I paid for a rental, too. AAMCO doesn't cover it. Lucky I have a relative who works for Enterprise.

If I were you, if you have any further issues, go to a different AAMCO location. The warranty is good at any of their locations. It sounds like the one you picked is a bit on the shady side. They aren't all that way.

Hey anyone no what hose or peice might be missing, I have a transmission leak on the driver side that dripps repeatly after the car sit when I put fluid into the trans it runs find anyone else had this promblen for a 1995 chrg.

From what you've described it sounds like it might be an o-ring or seal at the dipstick tube where it enters the case @ drivers side just behind downpipe. If you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself a tranny shop shopuld'nt charge you much at all for sticking one in for you just one bolt and slide it on, bolt might have even loosened up and just needs retightened...good luck!

Okay from were I was looking it dripps like its between the pan and driver wheel.

your transmission is the 4T60E, I'll send you a number to call where you might be able to describe the problem and get a gasket or seal sent to you, sounds to me like it might be in the valve body cover or side cover gasket area but the guy who's number I'm going to private message will help you more than I can...check your messages

Ookay whole lot for that

It sounds like the outer axle seal is leaking. Although, since you have a 95, pull the vac line off the front of the transmission and make sure the diaphragm in the shift modulator hasnt broken and is leaking out. (easy to check)

A bottle of lucas stop leak should fix the seal leak if you dont have the $$ to have a shop pull the axle out.
Check to see if there is transmission fluid pooling in the little lip where the axle goes into the transmission.

Hey I will be looking at it today but donny I did call yet until I receive some funds today ill jack it up first and then respond from there

Sorry missed spelled I did not call yet but will look at today thanks for helping out
