    Transmission selector cable

    How did you remove the plastic piece on the new linkage and installed it on the old one?

    Transmission selector cable

    I tried to make that kit work, it loosened at a drive thru and burnt my forearm on the exhaust attaching the cable. I’d show a pic but it’s nasty and got infected.

    yes, smart ass. I was going to tell him I bought it $30 cheaper online from the dealer website than the price he gave me yesterday over the phone. But just walked out.

    Transmission selector cable

    Hi, my 14 Tahoe 6 speed trans linkage cable came loose from the plastic grommet, if you will. So I went to the dealership and bought part 20787608, the lower shift cable part, and the parts guy tells me I need to buy the the upper, too. I told him I’ll just take the bottom for now. He made a...

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    Thanks, how much should I be saving up? Last time I bought a transmission, not sure what brand, I paid 3600 for a new one with 36,000 warranty for my wife's 5 speed explorer from an independent shop. The new one went out a few weeks before the warranty expired so I really lucked out. But I'm...

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    So I've changed the filter and fluid just about every 45,000 miles and I have no leaks. What's a Certa Trans? I want to keep my for as long as I can.

    Torque Converter or Transmission

    I have a 2014 tahoe with the 6speed transmission. At times my transmission will act like it goes neutral under moderate to hard acceleration, I would have to let off the gas to snap back in. The first time I noticed it was on a 10 hour drive from MD to Nashville and my truck had about 25,000...

    Fed up with 5.3 Oil Consumption

    The reason I came up with 1/8 of a quart, is because on average I was putting in oil where the line is on the oil bottle and it seems to match up with the full line almost perfectly *about every 3 to 4 weeks*

    Fed up with 5.3 Oil Consumption

    I'm fed up with adding oil to my truck to keep it at level. I have a 2014 Tahoe that I bought new but did not know about the oil consumption til I started working on my own truck 2 years ago. Yes, I was guilty of not checking my oil before I fired my local Chevy service center and Firestone. I...
