Not sure what kind of dealership sells a car sitting on a spare and then knocks the price off $1000 (cost of a used transmission) for the inconvenience. More like a convenient cover up which your dad ran with in fabricating theories. CARS OFF AXIS GUYS.
Besides how utterly dumb the above sounds, who in their right mind would pay 7 or 8k for that turd.
Anyway the cars not that bad until you drive an S2000 in comparison, at that point bad is too polite.

Elaborate on "off axis"? Last I heard the term was on an audio forum.
The transmission is fine. And it hasn't done any rough downshifts since I put air in the deflating spare. Anyway, we'll test it once I get the car back after school today. So, so far. His theory matches. Hus Cayenne did it also... Not as aggressive. But it did it nonetheless.
You're coming off as a dick by the way.

He may be coming off as a jerk, but you're really going out of your way to invite criticism. Most of what you're saying sounds a little "off." Just saying...

The fact that it hasn't been giving issues since dad put the wheel on after picking it up from the dealership?
If I didn't want criticism, or comments I would have kept to myself.
People can criticize all they want. They don't have to come off as a jerk about it.

For whatever reason, there are a lot of dick-ish posts in Car Talk. Just read right past those types of comments, as it is a great sub forum otherwise.
