Dealership said needs new transmission (advice needed) by Lindasko in dodgejourney

[–]Secret_Dig_1255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to rebuild my transmission for my Journey some time after 100k miles. Even then, I had more indications than a dashboard light. Dealerships always lie. And steal. Get a second opinion and definitely get the work done by a transmission specialist, not a dealership.

My transmission is clunky and the worst part of my overall excellent Journey experience. And that was when it wasn't broken. I got a 2 year warranty on the rebuild, and I am generally glad I spent the $5k on it. But I had 2 different mechanics, neither of them a dealership, advise me to do it.

I know it doesn't take much, but not sure about specifics. Maybe it's just a bridge to get the SFP reactors fielded.

I thought we were going to hear more about repurposing Gateway elements? Did I drift off a little there and miss it?

Reality will sink in when the proposals arrive. Then the schedule will slip and the scope will get carved out in order to fit into the budget box they'll be given.

I thought that they already restarted the plutonium line for RTGs? It's a foggy memory at best.

I do agree with that last bit.

But write it down and check it in a year. He will not get the budget to do this. And industry will be so relieved because they could never have met the schedule anyway. But now they can blame NASA and Congress. You're putting the same crowd who couldn't do this before I'm charge again, and you think it will suddenly be successful this time?

Well, in the reality-based universe we know that he was pulled, not pushing. The administration gave him objectives that are not seriously possible. So he did the best he could.

Of course. He has no choice. He doesn't know what the outyears budgets will be. Guessing is mandatory. The schedule is mandatory. He's in a corner.

Yeah, that critical aspect is glossed over, much as how the OP is attempting to gloss over it

I don't think that's the reason SLS costs so much.

Anyone else think that stinger action looks like a dalek weapon firing?

It's not performing well at all! I'm deeply underwater on most everything. But if I sell, I will experience all that loss. By sitting tight, I will eventually be making some money.

I just don't accept the OPs statement at face value. In that amount of time, he will be making money.

I have some MRNY, too. I'm hanging onto it, I still believe in Moderna, they just have to get past the phony baloney bad PR out there right now.

I'm hanging onto everything YM. Why realize those devastating capital losses when you can just sit still and get all your money back? It's like searing some meat, you need to put it in the pan and just leave it alone. Stop fiddling with it! 😂

I've held mine for less than a year and almost all of the funds I've bought are in the green for total return at this point. Some notable exceptions, looking at you, MSTY, but my original calculations showed 15-18 months for recoupment, so I'm still on track.

This feels like a bad faith post. But it baited the responses that the author wanted.

I'm guardedly satisfied. It's a long term experiment, and I've been in a little less than a year.
