2009 GMC Yukon need advice

By your description of events and symptoms, you are going to have to take it to a professional for diagnosis. If you don't know of an independent shop that is highly regarded in your area, a dealer is likely your best option. You might want to start planning around a diagnosis that entails a reman transmission.

Agreed. It’s not the news we like to hear but a visit to a reputable shop seems in order unless you have a bidirectional scanner like a Tech 2. @swathdiver is a whiz with those.

What can you say, since the problem is random the report from the GMC dealership: “Cannot Duplicate problem”

So nothing has been done yet.

 

[wsteele]

If there is good news, at least you know the dealer is honest.

I think if I were you, I would try really hard to find a highly regarded transmission shop, someone who pretty much does nothing else. They might be able to make more of your symptoms by description.

 

[Zao Nazario]

Thank you. I will shop around shops like Aamco or any transmission shop.

I went with GMC dealer and quoted me a SERTA transmission for $3008 plus tax with a 100k warranty.
Anyone familiar with SERTA tranny?

Service Replacement Transmission, I think.

While higher than I paid for a reman transmission installed at an independent shop about 4 years ago ($2400), mine is a 4 speed (cheaper) and your warranty is longer and you have the dealer backing it up. Actually, I think that is a pretty good deal.

I agree that price isn’t bad. If there’s another dealer in your area I’d call and ask for a quote from them too.
