I recently had my Chevy truck 3500 series (diesel) rear main seal replaced, for which I was charged $900.00. Two weeks later my truck starts pouring out transmission fluid. Please note that I have owned this truck since it was new and it has never leaked a drop of trans. fluid. My mechanic told me that they had to pull the trans. to replace the rear main seal but replacing the front seal of the trans. is a judgment call. I took the truck back to my mechanic and he informed me that my trans. was shot and needed a rebuild, when I argued my point of view to him he blew me off and proceeded with the repair without my ok. When I went to retrieve my truck he handed me a bill for $2356.31 to rebuild my trans. Is it me or am I being totally screwed here or what. And if I am does anyone have any suggestions as to what my next move should be?
