My 1996 LT-4 had a new clutch (Centerforce Dual Friction) installed last week by Corvettes of Dallas in Carrollton, TX. While they had the transmission out they also replaced the rear main seal. After driving the car home (about 30 miles), I noticed the smell of burnng tranmission fluid. Looking under the car revealed a few fresh drops of fluid on the exhaust, directly under the center of the car. Before the tranmisssion work, my car had NO fluid leaks whatsoever.
I took the car back to Corvettes of Dallas. They examined it and told me that the fluid leak was coming from the speedometer sensor on the transmission. They then installed a new sensor and added more transmission fluid. I took the car home, and much to my dismay found the car still leaking in the same spot.
I took the car back again yesterday. They told me they spent 8 more hours of labor on the car taking apart the transmission again and replacing the input shaft seal. They then drove it about 20 miles, put it back on the lift and said it was "bone dry." I picked the car up, brought it home, and guess what? The smell of burning transmission fluid was back, along with fresh drops of transmission fluid on my exhaust.
The question is what now? Any suggestions? I've already spent $1200+ with Corvettes of Dallas, and they are telling me "we can't find the leak." Should I demand that it be fixed properly, which is what I paid for and expect, or should I give up with them and go spend more money at a Chevy dealer? Anybody have any similar problems?
Thanks,
