In the case of my 993 transmission failure, it really was the fault of the last guy to work on it. No one else had touched it since it left the factory, other than my fluid changes. Track insurance co. made me take the drivetrain to a well-known P-car shop in MD while the body was repaired elsewhere. Drivetrain sat in a corner for about six mos. before they got a call from the body shop and were told to get it ready. They didn't bother replacing the O-ring under the tensioning plate and used silicone goop instead. I dealt with that leak and installed correct O-ring two yrs. later. Then the tranny failed about three more years later. When we pulled the nose cone off, the main shaft nut, which is supposed to be torqued to 160 ft/lbs, was spinning freely with reverse slapping into the 5th gear. That was a $4k mistake I got to pay for. And they claim they never saw my transmission undertray, which was on the car when I took it to them and not on there when they returned it. Oh, they replaced my Fabspeed MaxFlows with GHL's without asking me too. Since then the car has only ever been left in two more shops, one I totally trust and one when I needed help because I had the wrong part in a box with the correct part # on it and couldn't figure out why the tranny linkage was jammed up. Otherwise, only I work on the car anymore.
