    Pay now to get it done right or pay more latter to fix whatever your current guy did wrong.

    Most definitely, you are 100% right, thank you for this input man. From the start I should of just never went to this mechanic, but I can't change anything now I'm just going to have to deal with the dealership at this point and yeah the warranty is gone, I had used it before on the transmission and I think I was only covered for that only once.

    You could ask in either of these subforums. Maybe someone knows of a good reputable shop in your area.

    My only problem now is, after I pay the dealer to fix the transmission, I have to take the transmission back to the mechanic because my truck is there and he has to put it back, I'm praying nothing goes wrong because otherwise I'm back to square one, and I don't know how to get the truck to the dealer because it's so far..

    You may have to spend the money and tow it, how far is it?

    I would have the truck towed to where the transmission is being fixed. Let them install it. Do not, under any circumstances, let the original mechanic do any more work on your truck.
