My transmission is on its way out in my 2008 Yukon Denali. For several years it has had a delay going into reverse, and for the past year it has had a flare on the 2-3 shift. Now, for the past month or so it has had a 1-2 second delay and slippage on the 4-5 shift, especially first thing in the morning. I have been letting off the throttle on the 4-5 shift because it feels like it wont catch. I know its days are numbered, it's only a matter of time.
Currently funds are pretty tight, and with 175K on the Yukon, which is only valued at $6-8K, I can't see putting $3k into a new transmission. I'm thinking a used takeout is my best option at $1100-1500. My question is, what years will swap directly into my 08? I've narrowed my search to only Denalis and Cadillacs with the 6.2 6L80e, but can i swap in anything from 07-14? I know the 09-up had DOD, but I'm not sure if that affects the transmission. I've heard there were refinements to the later 6l80s, so I'd prefer newer if I can as long as it will swap directly in and work with my computer.
Any help is appreciated. I'm limping mine along for now but I'm afraid I only have a few months before 5th goes completely.
