    lol, I did that on a 200ci I6 when I was 12 (working in a dirt floor garage, no less). Scraping off a bunch of sealer is a good learning tool.

    Bust off the name of the shop, its not shop bashing where the proof is in the pudding or silicone in this case...

    How could that be cheap? If they used a similar amount of rtv on the bellhousing (really?), they are out a bunch of cash in sealer alone.

    Anyother time this thread would be "XXXX shop fucked my shifter up"

    Or, in Mr. Edd's case - "shp shift fuked no gers,,,, silycon all ver"
    Not true. Mr. Edd would have a long list of shops to say fucked up his shop, not just one in particular.

    They aren't a tranny shop...they are a performance shop that I had used numerous times in the past for tuning.

    Well shoot me a PM on the shop. So I know to avoid that shop. Shows how much they care about their rep & their customers

    You know they've been closed for 5+ years now right? It's funny how many businesses spun off of there though that are actually reputable.

I am realizing how crappy of a job was done to my car after I had some transmission work done last year by a local, reputable shop. Bolts are missing or the wrong type, covers/misc parts missing, loose bolts, etc. Just generally very sloppy and shoddy work. It just doesn't pay to let someone else wrench on your car sometimes.
