welcome back to the club

 

So what was the problem?

 

it was the "Clutch Fork Pivot" a $12.85 part lol. It snapped at the pivot point. and the clutch & flywheel that is in there required a little bit longer piece that had to be welded and aparently the guy that put in the new clutch before i purchased it didn't do the job rite as it it snapped & had to be re-done.

I will say this about lokey, when they make a mistake or their is miscomunication they do accept the blame. however i am extremely satisfied with the quality of work and level of knowledge of the new guy Mark at Personal Auto Repair!

I'm gonna go out and cruise!

 

glad to see you back and lokey doing a good job.

 

eh... wasn't really happy with lokey and won't use them again unless it's warranty'd, but we agreed to disagree and i took it elsewhere.

 

next time call me up, i could have told you that instantly. we have seen those break a few times...

 

yeah that's what the guy i found did.

lokey did not they just faxed over a handwritten itemization of all the parts and prices in the entire clutch system and said here's your worst case and we won't know anything untill you allow us to take the transmission apart at $90/hour.

i wish you guys were closer to me here in palm harbor, but i'm definatly coming to you guys to get the S/C or TT done

 

every were y go u have to pay for diag property your concern.if u bring the car to us here at lokey before your friend who told to rpl the master and slave u will save all the money u say u spend.but what ever.

 

wow... what? that didn't make sense at all...

 

sorry partner, this is America and our language is English.

Thank you...

 

If you take your car in for repairs and request a certain repair or specific part replacement, you can't change your mind later on if your solution doesn't fix the problem.

OEM Dealers are designed to figure out what's wrong with the vehicles they serve. If you circumvent a dealers diagnostics process with a specific request, you need to be prepared to pay for your repair even if it doesn't fix the problem. Always better to say: "Here's the problem I have... What do you think we should do?"

 

my english may be bad but iam the guy here at lokey who works on all the club member ride if u want to now more about me just ask for christian and see what people say about me here in the forum.lol thanks. this is out of topic but.

 

i think the main problem with your original post was that it was barely readable..
