    Wow. The didn't give you an sort of warranty or something? Even a 30 day warranty would suffice. I bet you paid a pretty penny for it too.

    They are custom trannies, Not really an off the shelf unit. Not sure I would have taken it back either.

    You were selling a valve body on ebay http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2069 is that the bad one from the transmission?

    Did you get the transmission all straightened out? I live right up the road and know a thing or two about transmissions, might be able to help you out.

    Custom or no custom, it still has to work if you pay money. I am pretty sure thats how things work,

    You know, shipping a 100lbs tranny is NOT that bad.

    Fedex will ship it for around $50, last I checked.
