Friend put his car in the shop. When we got it back, the transmission may have been rebuilt(?), but it sounded like clunker when they delivered it. Besides the transmission, nothing was wrong when it went in, it purred like a kitten. He says he had to weld the muffler on. But it wasn't noise before what did you do? Return it in the condition equal to or better than which you received it, please.
Hello Richard, the exhaust had to be removed when replacing the transmission. Due to rust, after installation the exhaust developed a leak which was the extra noise. Your friend left the car and we re-addressed the exhaust to correct the noise. If the condition redevelops we can keep patching it up, at some point though just like the transmission the exhaust will need to be replaced. Thank You
