Default WTF is a Serta transmission

Just got the truck back from the dealership and it says on the word order, transmission replaced with a SERTA transmission.

Here's what the service writer put on the ticket:

"Checked trans fluid level, fluid at proper level but black"
"All solenoids operating, removed transmission found that all clutches burned up and have signs of heat. Found that reverse input housing burned up and has massive heat marks. 2 gear band trashed. Installed with a SERTA transmission"

Guess I really fucked that tranny up.

SERTA = Service Replacement Transmission Assembly

Sounds like you did a nice job tearing the old one up better get rid of the truck quick before you tear this one up too.

Yep, that is what they put in if they give you a new one. I am on my second SERTA replacement.

I think those Serta's have a 50K warranty.

the guy told me if it goes out again, to rotate the tires and make sure the bald one isnt on the peg leg. he said the big man over the service was eye-balling that pretty hard. What I dont get is why they bitch. They are getting paid for labor are they not? I dont know too many guys that if they had a lot of money would waste it on going back to the dealership and getting the same factory tranny. Dumbshits

Funny you mention that cause when I got my last tranny change I came in with 4 bald tires. Not just a little bald but really bald.... anyways they were gonna not accept my warrenty cause my tired were low on tread, yea right.

HAHAH needless to say after a hour of talkn and me refering to my lawyer many times they changed all the stuff and I burned out on the way out... hehe I was at the end of my warrenty and I knew I wasnt goin back there.. hehe
