The speedo gear, tach switches, setting the floats, bleeding the brakes, making sure there are no coolant leaks, aligning the wheels, and making sure the exhaust is positioned right, IMO, is the job of whoever dropped in your engine/trans. The wheel bearing should have been right from the outset, but that could just have been a fluke. The T-Bar and solenoid could have happened to anybody at any time. Regarding the shifting problem, I bet your bellhousing was never aligned -- that's a reasonable PITA and I bet your guy just skipped over it, since he seemed to skip over some other basic "get it ready" type jobs. That would be a pisser alright.  |
