I have a 1993 Toyota, Xtra cab, deluxe, long bed truck with an
auotmatic transmision and overtdirve. I bought used with only 87,000
miles on it from my cousin about 3.5 years ago. It now has about
119,000 miles on it and has been running flawlessly until recently.
I had a freeze plug weaken which caused a slight, drip. I took it
to an idependant shop for the repair. But, as many times happens, the
repair of one leak in an old cooling system, often times another one is
started. The third freeze plug leak was one that required the
transmission to be dropped in order to make the repair ... ever since,
the shifting sequence on this automatic transmission has been all out
of whack. It shifts late and hard and sometimes won't shift at all
unless you let up on the accelerator. I've taken it back twice and
they have returned it back to me stating that they fixed the problem by
adjusting the "drop down" rod / gear....? They haven't charged me for
any of their work because admittedly they created the problem.
However, while these guys may be ok with "lubes and tunes", I don't
think that transmisions are a field of expertise for them.
So, my questions are, what do you suppose the problem is? who do
you recommend I take it to for repair and finally, what are the chances
I'm gonna get this shop to pay for it? With regard to the shop ...
they are good guys but they just can't get it right and I'm sure like
so many of us, I don't have the time to keep going back and forth. I
just want to get it fixed!
Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,
Henn House
