Hi All.
Had my Supra in for some various small jobs, and 2 of them was to replace gearbox oil / seal and fix a small coolant leak.
I had bought Gearbox oil from Opie (2 liters), and then I had bought 2 liters of Toyota 4life Coolant, if the Garage needed it, when fixing the small leak.
To my surprise, when I went to pick the car up yesterday, I found the 2 liters of gearbox oil on the backseat, but the coolant was gone, and at that point the Garage had already said, that they did not use any coolant, but had changed the Gearbox oil.
So what the garage by mistake do?... Put 2 liters of coolant in my gearbox, as the mechanic thought it was gearbox oil.
I was of course very angry, and the Garage owner quickly got the car on the lift again and emptied out the coolant and put in 2 liters of gearbox oil, and ran the car on the lift through the gears and then again drained the gearbox and put new oil in it again.
They will pay for a gearbox oil change again, start of next week, once I get more oil from Opie oil.
So the question is really, has the gearbox taken any damage from:
1. Having coolant in it around 15-20 hours
2. Possible have been run for 40-50 meters to park it (was pushed inside, when the mistake was discovered)
Thanks.
