"The laws here in Ohio came about in a strange way, which I will delve into later"

It is later.

The strange laws Ohio has are because of auto mechanics. they would get your car in there and there were "cost overruns" and people lost their cars over it, didn't even get to scrap them.

Sometimes it was that they pulled off the top end and the block was cracked. Sometimes it was that the tranny got rebuilt and it didn't work right because the case was cracked. That happened on alot of trannies, where the valve body bolts up with the pistons and all that, there were cracks at the sides of the bores in that which were supposed to use the pressure to engage clutches etc.

Well they couldn't tell and alot of shops just took to fixing it anyway and then wrote a bill the customer could not pay.

And then unscrupulous tranny shops sowed up. I took a 1971 Chevy Impala into a shop that I think was a national chain. The guy Told me it sounds like there is a sprag screwed up in the torque converter.

In a 1971 THM transmission THERE ARE NO SPRAGS IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER ! the only ones that have sprags are the ones with the lockup clutch, about required for overdrive and a good thing, but there was NEVER one in any THM of the time.

So he told me that and wanted $600 to fix it (this was a LONG time ago like 1976) we just went and got a tranny from a boneyard and guess what, found out there was a bad spur on the torque converter so just used the one the guy said was bad,,, it worked fine.

I have tried to be as honest as possible in all I have done. But I do not make the mistake of projecting that on others.

As far as the OP, call up the shop ad apologize, say soething like "Sorry to be a bother, I am not going to keep calling you but please tell me when you will call me or to call you".

GET THAT ANSWER.

Up the street there is an auto repair and tire shop, I have seen cars sit there for months. Of course some of the are vintage, unusual or whatever. But that goes to show you that some things take longer than others.

And if that tech is on the phone he is not working on the bench.
