reading all these reviews and I have to wonder if people just have no ability to read and follow directions. I bought a used transmission from Quality Used Transmissions for a 1995 4runner 4x4. The transaction was basically smooth, there was a hic-cup, but Q.U.T. handled it as best as I could have expected. got the first transmission and it was obvious that whomever pulled it from the vehicle was not aware that on the 1989-1995 4runner 4x4 automatic the Transmission and the 4x4 transfer case are a single unit, they tried to separate the transfer case (which makes sense on 80% of the other 4x4s out there) and cracked the casing, I called and explained this to Q.U.T. and they said they would be sure to alert the yard pulling the next one to be sure they didn't try and separate the transfer case.. hey $h1t happens, I didn't know they were not separate units myself, and was surprised that the transfer case came with the transmission in the first place. on my GMC they are definitely 2 separate parts. Since the paperwork and the emails I had said that I had to register the transaction online in order for the warranty to work, that was the first thing I did. So when I called in that the original transmission was cracked, "Scott" immediately sent a replacement, the replacement actually arrived in 2 days, and that was the hic-cup, the trucking company delivered the wrong transmission to my mechanic, and sent my 4runner transmission to another shop, the paper work was all correct, but the transmission on the pallet that arrived was the wrong unit and even had the wrong tracking info on one of the 2 labels. I called Scott and he checked into it, I refused the delivery and waited a few more days and called back, Scott informed me the issue had been figured out and was waiting for my transmission to come back from the trucking company and he would send it out as soon as they had it back, it took 2 extra weeks for the unit to be returned and reshipped. The second unit was installed and is working well, once I had all the paperwork from the mechanic, I called Scott and requested the labor refund, he asked me to fax over my invoices, which I did and 3 days later I had a refund on my credit card. The whole ordeal did take 4 weeks, but in all honesty it was about what I expected, locating a used transmission for a '95 4runner 4x4 automatic is problematic in the first place, they are hard to come by, it sucked that someone cracked the first one, but as I said $h1t happens. all in all the transaction was basically smooth, though it took a bit of time, but I was calm and courteous to them and they returned the professionalism to me. I think a lot of people don't read, don't follow instructions, and then call in angry and unprofessional expecting that their ranting and complaining will get things handled, then leave bad reviews because of their own lack of understanding or follow-thru. I knocked off one star only because of the hic-cup and the fact it took an extra 2 phone calls and 2 weeks to get things resolved, but I was not unsatisfied or unhappy with how it was handled.
