New flywheel installed... Throwout bearing is 1000x louder... WTF?

Update: Shop is owning up to it. Right when i walked in the front door the guy at the front said "I just heard." So they know they messed up.

Update: Shop is owning up to it. Right when i walked in the front door the guy at the front said "I just heard." So they know they messed up.

Here was his excuse on why it happened...

Just after everything was installed the car went on the dyno. They are blaming the failure of the rear diff on an improper break-in. They said the car needs to have (3) 10 - 12 mile cycles of warming up the diff and cooling down.

To me it sounds like BS... so who knows.

All i know is they are going to fix it and come out of pocket for new seals, bearing and anything else needed to do it right. My only concerns is if there was a mistake in the installation... what's to say it's not going to happen again? I know i can just take the car back for a third time, but they've already had it since Wednesday of last week when there was only supposed to be 12 hours of labor to be done.

So frustrated...
