Warning to possible buyers:
Seller sold me tranny advertised as having a busted 1st gear but good front & center differentials which I bought for $175 cash. The tranny ended up being useless and Andrewtech sold me a replacement case and diff. for $650. Seller agreed to refund me $100 over 2 months ago. No resolution yet.

Here's the back and forth:
Ok the money won't be in your account problably by the end of this week begining of next. Got to bring the check home first. Ill let you know when I deposit it

I really didn't think I would encounter add'l problems based on the fact that you only broke 1st gear. As far as your rating goes, you haven't made it to the Scammer section and I would go out of my way to have a mod edit the negative feedback I left if you gave me a refund and we resolve this.

But with that being said you knew that by buying a trans with a broken gear you can run the chance of encounting other issues, or maybe not.I sure as hell wasn't aware. And I completly understand the actions you have taken , cause I obviously would have done the same thing. I did log on to nasioc and I apologize for not returning your pm but at the time I was in a bigger bind and didn't feel like dealing with your issue at the time. My mistake. At this point I'm not sure if I should refund you anthing being that I already took a hit with my rating.

I was AWARE that 1st gear was broken, but I couldn't care less of the condition of the gears as they were being replaced by PPG's. As YOURE AWARE, your thread advertised it as having a good front and center diff which would lead me to beleive that the case was also good. The inside of the case has certain tolerances and if they don't check out, it can't be used. What a paperweight means is that it's useless; it's only good for holding down papers so they don't fly away. Andrewtech is not in the business of selling used tranny parts; they build trannies. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions that you knowingly sold me a useless tranny, but given how much time went by without a response from you, I had to assume the worst, especially since you were still logging on to nasioc. All I know is that I'm out $175 for the tranny you sold me, the $150 I had to pay Japtrix to ship it up to Andewtech, and $650 for the replacement front diff. and case I had to buy from them to finish my build. Given the circumstances of your lack of communication, I felt I had no choice but to notify local mods about the situation. Again, if you have any doubts regarding the condition of what you sold me, please feel free to contact Andrewtech (240)683-1000, mention my name Rodrigo Ruiz from FL, and they'll confirm what I'm telling you.

I sold you the tranny making you aware it was an unopened case to begin with , so that tells you that there was no way of me knowing that anthing was wrong with it . Second after I broke the gear I drove it home no problem what so ever and I made you aware of that also if you recall.. I sold you the transmission for only 125 and 50 for the bottom half of the seats remember ? And not only that I drove an hour and a half to meet with you remeber that? I would have never sold you the trans knowing it had any sort of issues, but then again I have no xray vision to look into and I didn't break the case open to inspect it myself and you asked me if I did and I told you no , therfore making you aware. I don't go around riping ppl of their money AND IT WASN'T MY INTENTION TO SELL YOU A TRANS THAT HAD OTHER ISSUES BESIDES BROKEN FIRST , THAT YOU WERE ALSO AWARE OF. With that being said I don't understand what paper weight means? I don't understand how the case was damaged? Or the front diff? I'm no trans expert but obiviously andrew tech is! Be more specific plz?

The front diff and the case are shot and I had to take one theirs for $650 seeing as how I don't have time to find another one and ship it to them for an add'l $150. Feel free to call them up (240) 683-1000 if you want to verify it. I took your word on it that the case and diffs were good and now I' out the $175 I paid you plus the $150 I had to pay to ship it to them. Please get back to me ASAP.

Rodrigo
