and a funny vibration when I pulled it into 4W Hi yesterday. I've no idea of previous sevice, and figured it was due anyway. I hope they don't bend me over, or at least give me a reach around! Checked in on the KJ today. Small seal leak rear shaft at the trans case. Front shaft is the problem. Seems the joint (CV?) at the transfer case is bad, or so they say. I won't know how bad untill they pull it down and check tomorrow. Anybody have any guesses as to how much I'm going to get copulated for? In the mean time, it's $40 a day for a rental. It might just be a good day for a motorcycle ride, at least Saturday (my weekend to work). |

Well, "thank you sir, may I have another?" $150 parts and labor to replace the transmission seal at the front of the rear driveshaft. $600 parts and labor to rebuild and balace the front driveshaft. They had to send it out to the driveshaft place. For a total of $750 & tax on parts, and 5 days time and rental charges. I really hate it when they have you by the short hairs and there's nothing you can do about it. I keep telling myself "I love my KJ, I love my KJ". |

And balance it! "We had to send it to another shop who balances them" |

Sadly AAMCO has a bad reputation and this is an example. You would usually be better off finding a local independent trans shop. |
