Title: Bad Tranny Deal
Post by: Windwoman on May 18, 2010, 11:10:55 PM
I was offered a Transmission from R2Racing on this site.
He told me the tranny was a C4. We asked him how many pan bolts it had and he told us 11.
He was also suppose to ship a crank pully with the tranny. So mistakenly trusting him I sent him the money
when the tranny got here it was a C3... pan bolt pattern was 13. I checked with the group as I am just
learning this stuff to make sure I was right and was sent a jpg of both tranny bolt patterns.
I also recieved from R2Racing a water pump pulley instead of a crank pulley.
I emailed to see what happened and he claimed he sent me what I asked for and then failed to answer
any further emails.
The transmission appeared to be damaged in shipping and I did offer to send him pictures etc. to file a claim against shipper and he still failed to contact me back.
I belive that he took advantage of me being new to the automotive hobby and a woman
I would think twice before purchasing anything from him.

Sorry you had a bad experience, and thanks for putting the word out so others don't fall victim.  Most of our members are not like that at all.

I was also dealing with him. I wanted 100 dollard for the centerlines that were on the back of my car. I dropped the price to the cost of shipping so i could get the cargo panels i need for my bobcat from him. have not hear a word back from him since.
so if there is anyone with Wagon cargo panels that will fit a 75 bobcat that are not cut up ill trade my centerline rims for them. they are 14x7.5 i think 4 lug pattern one needs restore work the other does not. I would not suggest this seller to anyone else.

he is young but sounds like he could use a refresher course in Honesty.
But I think the group needs to know not to deal with this slippery little monster.

Every now and then we get a bad apple. But luckily this site is relatively tame and in good spirits compared to some other forums so we have that to be thankful for. Sorry for whoever got burnt by him though...maybe when he crushes them he will forget to get out...although that may be a bit much  :P

It's called Internet fraud, keep all his contact info contact your local branch of the FBI.

Did he send you pictures of a C-4 trans?

Going through the U.S. Postal Service might get you better results than the Bureau....this is, after all, mail fraud (a Federal crime) and possibly wire fraud as well.  Also, Paypal will get involved, if that's how the money was transfered and, finally, get word to this little bastard's local cops....if anybody's got an address on him.

Failing any of that, I'd like to send him Bikers: the gift that keeps on f**kin' giving...

I will thanks so much.
I though I was safe where he told me in his emails that the tranny was a c4 and he actually told me the bolt pattern was the same as a C4 which was a bold face lie.
