So I’m in my 2nd year apprentice and I’ve had a few cars come back over the time, just had one yesterday with a few fucked bolts and stuff, idk how normal it is to fuck up this much and I just feel terrible about it so could anyone tell me how normal this actually is

2019 Ford escape 1.5t, came in for a trans replacement, 6F35, told the boss "couldn't be too bad I just did one of these" only now I am VERY AWARE of the fuckass auto start/stop system and every component it adds, the two electric water pump tied into the intake CAC, and the CAC radiator, which I would've avoided removing, but procedure says to remove starter ya have to remove the oil filter housing, I said "nah fuck that, watch this" I am EATING my words, it's like assembling spaghetti, and I barely had access to the TC bolts, then you get into the trans fluid temp control system, trans heater on the upper rear of trans, ties into the bypass valve in front of brake booster, which ties into the mostly normal trans cooler, pulled the bumper, only to find out you gotta remove the active air shutter, and drop the rad support, that was a whole mess of metal lines, 8 seals total, And ofc that's not all

You also have an electric auxiliary trans pump, that DOESNT COME WITH THE TRANS, (why?) but they give you rebuild kit, so I rebuilt it, cleaned it, not bad, took just over an hour, no specs for it tho, Then miscellaneous bullshit, a cat-to-transmission bracket, (gotta pull the studs) a retarded battery tray, (not difficult just stupid) rusty pinch style ball joints, getting covered in wheel liner insulation, and you're gonna tell me this bitch pays 9.5 HOURS?!? THE FUCK? anyways fuck Ford, at least with Mercedes, VW, Audi I expect this shit, honestly I think they're easier, and the customers usually have money, but this mfer getting financed through carmart, yeah...
