How hard is it, really?

[LowEL2XR8]

Just rang a place to get a quote for a replacement transmission.
That was an convoluted and infuriating phone call.

Them Can't give quotes.
Me But I want a T5 manual for my car under exchange basis if they do that.
Them Nope sorry can't do that.
Me I said fine can I have a new one no exchange.
Them "If you can find a new one I'll take six" he says.
Me No I mean a replacement one.
Them No we take yours on exchange strip and quote.
Me You just said you don't do exchange.
Them We need to strip yours down first and then we know how much it is.
Me But you don't give quotes. Can I just buy one of the ones sitting on your shelf
Them HAHAHAHA ummm NO. We do secret work for Ford and we need your transmission.
Me But if its just a simple strip and repair and rebuild......oh forget it your making this too hard.

I hang up.

What the hell? My transmission works fine its just a little worn as in done 140,000ks I just want a new refurbished one. Is it that hard?


How do I get a rebuilt transmission in this town when people act like that?

Whats the usual procedure to get a transmission swap done in a day? Those people would of taken weeks to do it.
