So, the slotted hub will fit in a pump designed for a hub with flats? Who installed the converter? It slid right in , just like it's supposed to .. no reason to think it wasn't right , ..

That’s what intrigued me…. but to be fair I’m not sure Bigdad knew there was an A500 style pump gear in the trans, plus the converter provided was wrong. It was unfortunate that it slid in…. perhaps if it fought them they’d had the amazing discovery that the pump drive was different. Of course this would have just prolonged the agony of having to get the correct converter before discovering the rest of the mayhem awaiting them inside.

Nothing from him , too busy posting on facebook to take care of a customer To be fair (I didn’t say right….) he did respond to your post on FABO (think it was cut and pasted here earlier on). However you chose to have it addressed by an outside source (which I probably would have done to). I’m still pretty disappointed that he did not reach out to you in some manner….. + the fact he apparently didn’t order the correct converter for the trans HE built. Just so wrong in so many ways…..

Transmission internally was wrong anyway, if he would of ordered right pump and convertor. it would of still ate itself and ruined everything. .. I've sent him emails, asking what his plans are to make it right . no response

NOTHING will happen with that... I did that once, and it worked. I bought a part for a specific make and model of car from a US company. When I got the part, it wasn't for the generation of car I ordered it for. The company sales guy told me that they figured it was close enough to what I needed and I should make it work, since it was too much trouble to have it shipped back. There really wasn't anyway this part was going to work. I asked for my money back even if I had to eat the shipping, they said sure, then stopped responding. I figured being from Canada, I was go to be SOL on getting anything back. I hounded them and phoned for a few weeks, no action. I phoned the closest police station to them and talked to a detective, I sent him my invoice and the details of the transaction, he said phone them, and tell them they have a day to return my funds or they're getting charged with fraud. I phoned the company, told the receptionist what the detective said, and gave her the case number, with the detectives name. A few hours passed, I got a call that my refund should be back on my credit card, and it was. I guess the company phoned the detective to see if the trouble coming was real, and it was.

I think I would just cut my losses and move on. Life is too short. Appreciate the advice but, I think I'll work a bit harder to get refunded my money , I am not about to take a hit like this without an effort to get something done

For five grand on the line you could invest in doing a small claims case yourself. Collecting would be another challenge, but you may feel better just getting validation this wasn’t how it was supposed to be. Depends on if you want to throw more money on traveling there, but money isn’t always what it comes down to.

Sounds like I am very very lucky to have a really good trans guy... back in December I placed an ad in the parts wanted section looking for a 4 inch stroker crank for my R3 block ( still don't have one ) a person answered stating his friend had one and gave me his email . I did he gave me an address to send a money order to ( the address was in a different state than him , should have been my first clue something was wrong ) I sent the m.o. to the address ( according to Google maps it was a mobile home ) .. well it was a scam , the guy that answered the ad deleted his account , the recipient of the money order says he can only refund my money to a bank and to give him my account number .. yea right. he got mad when I called him a thief .. well then what are you? I don't see my $720 refund ! the point of this is ... I called the police in the town I sent the money order to as well as my local police and they basically told me there is nothing they can do.. I did however fill out a form with the Post office law enforcement alleging fraud with all the information I had on the scammer but I haven't heard anything .

Make sure you present the documentation to the Postal Inspector, not some counter person in the local P.O. May want to contact the county sheriff and see if they have a squad that handles this sort of thing. If not move up to the state police and ask them if they will. Sometimes just a phone call from LE is enough to get you your $$.

they're getting charged with fraud
More proof that cops are not lawyers. No matter what he told you, the District Atty. will not charge. "Fraud" requires proof that they intended to cheat you before the transaction. Even if true, your word is not enough.

Even if true, your word is not enough. Maybe you have never lived where the law enforcement is NOT looking to get out of work One phone call to a county sheriff's office in N.C. got me a refund overnight on having a RB custom manifold made for a centrifugal supercharger motor that I had been getting the runaround for six months from the owner of that company He had quoted me 3 to 4 months max in late August of that year, I started calling in January about when they were going to ship it and it was always next week, next week I'll have another company make it for me now like CFE or Weinle (SP?)
