    K&N intake and trying to decide on mid travel kit & accessories
    I just replaced a transmission after I got a 2014 trd off road 4x4 6 speed now it's making a chattering noise when the clutch is released when I press it in it stops o and the transfer case is leaking, then the steering fluid keep draining out after a couple days so the shop that replaced the transmission says it's the out put shaft bearing and they can't do anything except sell me another transmission cuz the warranty that they said would give me incase something like this happens was never there and the steering rack needs to be replaced also cuz it can't be fixed either they wanted 1800 to do the steering rack and another 3500 for the transmission what should I do? I looked up parts and the rack is a couple hundred and I'm sure I could replace myself the transmission is what worries me thanks for any input

    So what is the back story on this? Sounds like a rebuild title after totaled out to me or a flood vehicle.

    That's okay I can't understand the OP's post. There's no sentence structure, punctuation, etc.

    If it's really a 2014 it can't possibly have this many things going wrong all at once unless it's been beat to crap. Makes no sense.

    Not to mention it's the OP's first and only post.
