Never trust a mechanic to do a Technicians job, especially when they aren't qualified in the field they're giving advice on!!

Just for my information, can you tell what is the offical distinction(s) between "mechanics" and "technicans"?

Have you ever seen a tranny "filter" It is nothing more than a piece of gauze like substance. When they do a flush, the machine will indicate and abnormal resistance, that would indicate restrictions in the filter and should replace it. The ability for a tranny filter to filter out any small particles like an oil filter is laughable. It is really only there if you do have a problem in a tranny, that it won't inject pieces of stuff all throughout your tranny.

yes, I see them every day, when I rebuild them

you really need to cut one open, and look at the inside

that way, you won't appear to be as much of a horse's ass whn you open your big mouth

John, one of the most notable differences is..... a technician works in a well equipped shop... not a barn.

hope that helps clarify it just a bit......

if not....read the thread, and take a look at Gary's response to Joe's helpfull input.

a tech knows what he's talking about

Ok, well how about a "mechanic" in a "well equipped shop". Can I trust one of those creatures?

Bunghole,

It always helps to lurk (aka READ) a newsgroup for a few days or even weeks before posting; that way you know who the professional transmission rebuilders in the group are before you insult them.

Doc

Uhhhh, he already appears to be a pretty effin' big ass G...............I don't think cutting open an AT filter will change that much...........

Doc

What credentials do you have?

scrib abell ~:~wonders why Joe needs to know....maybe Joe's thunk'n he'll change his views and opinions if HE'S BETTER INFORMED...~:~ ~ Actually , yes I do change my oppinions based on fact. Of course it is always a great idea to change the filter every time, but it is also a great idea to change and flush your brake system every 2 years. That I also do. I am only saying that in the case of the GM throw away transmissions that don't have a proper filter that a professional flush is just as good as a shadetree mechanic changing filter and only half the fluid, unless you have reason to believe there has been excessive wear, due to abuse or burnt fluid. I have consulted a half dozen journeyman mechanics who have told me this same information.

Now, if all you can do is throw mindless insults at me, rather than facts, than I guess I know what a transmission technician is.
