you still have options if you bought the car even if it was as is...they just cant sell you junk from the dealership....now if it was a private seller you might have a harder time......just tell them your gonna open up a case with the better business bureau...they will fold in right away because that turns into public info on a dealership you can get off the internet

Anyways the update is that it's definitely the transmission and it needs to be rebuilt. Luckily the dealer is bein really good about it all so we came to a compromise. He's going to buy the JHM rebuild kit and i'm going to put it in myself.

Hhahaha no there was no grinding about it. I punched it in second, and the reason i know i didn't grind is because i granny shifted and it just wouldn't go into gear.

Ok so the dealer had called me after "searching around for prices" and said they'd be willing to give me $500 towards fixing the car. I was furious and decided to look further into my options.
In the state of Colorado a dealer is responsible to sell the car in a condition in which it can pass emissions. Emissions testing cannot be preformed with any gear not working. Thus the dealer is responsible for fixing the problem. I'm guessing i'm in for a big battle with the dealership over this but at least I have the advantage now.
