I had the shocks (front and back) replaced at the dealership last Monday.
On Wednesday the car started to leak oily stuff from about the center of the car.
Took it to the dealer who said that the transmission case was cracked.
The asked if I had hit anything on the road (which I don't remember doing).
I took it to AAMCOP (a transmission place).
They said that the crack is not from impact but rather wear&tear and materials (I leave in Cleveland with lost of snow and salt).
They indicated that the crack is in an stress area where the transmission mounts on the frame and links to the transfer case and cannot be welded.
My question is whether this damage could have been caused while replacing the shocks or it was just something "waiting to happen".
Thanks for your time.
