I bought a Mazda 5 speed tramission of of Ebay for this company. It took forever for them to ship it. When I got it home and inspected it I was in shock. It was suppose to ship in 4 days. The transmission has three brokencase hardened bolts in case , rendering it useless. It was shipped with shifter stub. The rear seal was ripped and when you rotate the the input shaft the front main bearing clanks. I winder how you dyno test a transmission when it has three broken bolts ins the case. They didn't even use a 20 dollars gasket set to replace the seals and gaskets .. they used RTV silicone. Because of Ebay's rules , I had to take my case to paypal. The serve won't let me upload pics. I bought 585 dollar junk transmission. There has been a negative feedack left on Google on this company , On Yellow Pages.com; On Rip Off Report.com; a Few with Florida's Consumer Protection Bureau. Beware.

I hope you get your money back.

If you don't, these are the kinds of things that make people build killdozers..

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Those bolt holes aren't even threaded!?!? You should be able to tap those out with a small hammer and punch.

Wrong ... those bolt are threaded into the case . See the Factory Service Manual page 12. One is a starter bolt. Those bolts go thru the block into the transmission case . The owner sent me email , so I most likely get a refund.

Paypal refunded my money. I have a core in my garage to rebuild. The issue was the bolts. The rest of stuff is mickey mouse.
