tell me about it.

i just had a new engine put in. supposedly. or it might be someone elses problem engine. sounded rough. they gave thier again susposedly mechanic of the year to tell you 'cant hear it' or that the characteristic engine noise. anyway, i decided to give it some time before complaining the 6th time about it. now however another thing just came up. when i engage in gear. the gearbox area of the car emits a tapping sound (not like the tapping sounds from the engine belt that goes tok....tok...tok...) this one sounds more like people drumming thier fingernails on a tablet continuously. one u shift into neutral or park it goes away. shift it back the noise is there even when ur foot is on the brake pedal.

this is seriouly ticking me off. whats the point of buying a new car when u need to bring it in to be fixed all the time. and its not like i chose a FIAT or Alfa romeo where they are expected to break down or fall apart fast.

anyone of you guys experienced this? before i go confront thier service manager and mechanic of the century again?
