      We dont rebuild any transmissions other than manual trans at the hyundai dealer. That time is remove replace to off fluid then relearn adaptives which entails going up through the gears and back down through the gears 10 times per hyundai. I can probably do it in 5 hours but that is rushing it plus keep in mind i have 2 different sets of paperwork i have to fill out one is a transmission diagnostic sheet and the other is the core return sheet. Both of which are easier to fill out when i have both trannies sitting on the ground so i can get all the numbers off them. I was told at the training cent the times a re figured in korea using hand tools. they go through the job multiple time while being timed. the thing is all the tools they need are laid out in front of them nothing more or less and the clock is only running when the tool is in use. so when the tool comes off the bolt or nut to change out tools clock stops then is started again once another tool is put on the project at hand. Otherwords were getting ripped off.

          [quote=”NETWizz” post=84212]LOL… Ohming a light blub.

          You: The light bulb is bad, so I replaced it.
          Engineer: How do you know the bulb was bad?
          You: It didn’t light up until I replaced it.
          Engineer: Yeah, but how do you know the bulb is bad?
          You: It’s a pattern failure… and Experience.
          Engineer: How did you verify the bulb is bad though…
          You: (Grabs Meter)[/quote]

          That is somewhat how it went except i didnt put the new bulb in till he was satisfied it was bad. What can I say I am a people pleaser. :angry:

              Any hyundai warranty which is most of what you get at hyundai since you have 10-100,000 powertrain 5-60,000 general warranty. Almost everything pays .3 under hyundai warranty it seems like. I would like to meat the guy who can R&R an 2011 sonata transmission in 4.0hrs. I also dislike evap systems as a whole.

                  Smoker cars are a big pet peeve of mine (nobody wants to work inside one of hitlers ovens), due to the location our dealership is in I tend to get a lot of engineers as customers who question every single diag including a light bulb. I seriously had to ohm a light bulb to satisfy one particular aircraft engineer that the filament was bad. Another thing that gets under my skin is when a sales person or porter parks a car in my stall the runs off with the keys. Service writers that are unfamiliar with bluetooth waste a lot of my time as well. Doing a diag only to be told they didnt get any diag time good way to raise my blood pressure. Customers who regard this job as a hobby.
