Possible Lasting Damage to Transmission?

[shadowseven]

I posted a question about hesitation during acceleration and problems shifting, and found out that the dealership that serviced my '02 Explorer "forgot" to put in 2 quarts of transmission fluid (can't remember who replied to my post, but thanks!). I was driving it around for a month or so (since the problems were at best intermittent, but noticeable). Could there possibly be any lasting damage done to the transmission by driving it around with 2 quarts low? If so, what should I ask the repair shop to check for? I'm trying not to use this shop anymore, because I'm convinced they damage something when they fix something else, just so you have to come back in. Thanks again!

I'd ask for a written notorized letter saying that if your transmission goes they'll give you a free rebuild.

I would try, but good luck getting ANY service center (in any industry) to do something like that, especially a month after it left the shop.

I'd just unleash my secret weapon... My wife gets her way, ALWAYS. That's how I got the dealer to fix my heated seats after I owned the car for almost 2 months.
