Hi all, I recently got a 2002 Tahoe with 210k miles on it. Shifting from 1-2 it floats for a second. And is a little delayed from 2-3 also. My friend who is a mechanic said, that it's likely a dying transmission. There are no check engine lights and the fluid is super dirty. The drain plug is stripped, and he said that's good because if I drained and filled it it wouldn't work anymore. Is this correct? If so is there a cost effective option to replace the transmission? It seems like rebuilds are 2k+ so that would be a bummer. Thank you ahead of time.
