Emotion causes you to get hung up on feeling (the OP even stated as much) and sometimes fail to see the reasoning or logic in a given situation.
Yeah I feel for him, as a youngster I had more than my fair share of WTF this isn't fair B.S. from dealers over warranty stuff.
Use it as a learning experience, and file it away.. Critical Thinking skills are something you have to learn.. It takes time, but getting emotional over stuff like this will never get you anywhere.
I understand his frustration, as I for one was simply pointing out that technically speaking he is getting a new transmission, the only thing on it that won't be "new" is the casing, all the internals will be.. So getting upset about that part of it makes the situation seems worse that it is..
I also pointed out that he needs to be sure to ask about warranty, because he is a youngster the dealer might try and fly some B.S. past him.
READ and UNDERSTAND all the paperwork BEFORE you sign and agree when picking up the car..

you certainly were not one of the posters to which I referred. you were being objective and offering a different point of view in a constructive way. I'm not saying everyone should tell him what he wants to hear, by any stretch. sometimes the unfortunate possibilities are still possibilities.
my personal opinion is that if GM built the original tranny and GM built the reman tranny from all new internal parts, it's pretty much the same thing as getting a new tranny. I will say my sister-in-law had a Honda Accord built during a 3 year period when apparently they were building absolute bs trannies. turned out ppl were havin' all kinds of transmission problems after just a few years and Honda refused to call it a manufacturers issue. She had to keep getting new transmissions installed and each one lasted the same amount of time and ended up with the same problem as the original. if they can offer you a solution that keeps your car on the road and you feeling secure, that seems like an ideal solution IMO.
i'm hopin' everything works out for ya, OP. when's homecoming? has the dealership told you anything more definitive yet?
