About four months ago, my torque converter was not locking in fourt gear. Eventually, the SES light came on and I took the '96 SHO to Autozone to have the code read. Sure enough, it showed torque converter problems. I then took the vehicle to All-Pro Transmission in Nashville TN.. They gave me an estimate to replace the converter and began work. A couple of days later they called and advised that the TC clutch had shed some debris into the trans and it needed a rebuild. Seeing as my car has 106,000 miles on it and the trans was already out of the car, I agreed and again, they went to work. Two weeks later, I was called and advised that the car was ready and picked it up, (total bill just over $2000.00). Well it ran fine for a day then wouldnt run at all in drive and I was able to limp it back to All-Pro in second gear. This time they kept the car several weeks and kept ordering parts in an attempt to diagnose the problem by replacing one part at a time. I finally got the vehicle back and again it ran for a couple of days and crapped out again. Again, I limped it out to All-Pro and this time they kept it for several weeks until they finally had to replace the trans. case. Total time without my SHO, over three months. Well, it has been doing fine for the last three weeks until today. Now the torque converter wont lock up and the SES light is back on. I hate to take it back to All-Amature, but I will have to pay anybody else to fix it and even if I could take them to court and sue to get my money back, it would take a while. Sorry for the long post but I need feedback on this. Any lawyers out there? HELP! :mad: :mad:

I would call and raise cain with them and demand a refund (but do it all in a nice way, that way they can't say you were rude/hateful). Start there and if they don't comply or will not cooperate than find a good lawyer.

Also make sure that you keep ALL records of what they have done and how many times you have gone back to them. Also you may want to write down all that has happened to date and the names of the people that you have talked to at this repair shop.

Good luck keep us posted as to what happens.

They might buy a factory or Jasper unit just to cut their losses. I certainly would take it back to them

Thanks for the input. The TC is locking properly now and the SES light is out so I guess I will run it by the dealer and check tsb's and get their input before I make a final decision. I am sure this problem will pop up again. I wil keep you posted on the outcome. In the mean time, Stay away from All-pro!!! thumbs_u
