I mean, it looked like he knew how to replace the old parts with new, maybe he's just stupid?
What could cause a steel to get so hot to turn blue? Anyway, it's junk now. I'd just say f*ck it and build one of my own if that happened to me.

looks like he just used extra parts he had lying around his shop.... groove patterns don't even match up, and most kits will include new steels....

I hate sack-o-s#&%s like that....

hope you have good luck on your search!

After seeing the guts of the "rebuild", I'd drop off the the mess he put in & tell him have a nice day. Then again I would actually beat him with the case & dump the fluid over him.

I've had that happen to me before, a bunch. So I've been rebuilding my transmissions. At least if it doesn't work I only have myself to blame.
It's a shame you don't have trustworthy people doing the work you can't see.
