tranny issue..

[aloha_bruddah]

**edited, hopefully the videos work now...

as i said, here's my issue, hopefully these videos can help you to help me....yes it does have a leak, i haven't climbed under it yet....

here's 4 different videos, hopefully you can see and understand what i'm talking about....asi i said, it starts out fine, changes the first time fine, and then high revs, if i let my foot off the gas, 1 out of 5 times it catches, maybe 1 out of 3 if i'm going fast enough.....starting from 2, the car goes fine....i think someone said to try that......but it doesn't change, is it supposed to?

if you start in 2nd it will stay in 2nd. it's good for snow.
Videos no work for me, black screen.
Can you baby it by the 3-4 shift and get it into OD? very easy throttle so it doesn't slip when it does shift. if you can get it into 4th, will it still slip then?
Have you tried to manual shift it? start out in first...shift to second...shift to third...etc.

hmmmm.

sorry....... i'm trying to figure out how to load the videos....

ok, that explains 2nd and the high whine, hahahaha, so it wasn't supposed to shift..... that's fine.

if i start out good, it ***** fine, then the second shift is where it goes outta control, if i pull my foot off the gas, and i'm going fast enough, once i hit the gas again, it catches, not everytime, but more often than not. i've only driven it as fast as 50mph, because it has a tire out of balance, and it needs an alighment, i think it needs new shocks and springs......the steering wheel has a lot of play, it also needs brakes, hahahahaha, but yea, one thing at a time.....i'll figure out the vids...

Videos updated........ weird, i didn't do anything different.......oh well, so help a brutha out, oh wise ones......

thanks!

Start saving for a new trans. It sounds like it's slipping in 2nd but holds 3rd.
When it's starts slipping like that....it's done. The ATF is full?

Ok, so now, rebuild vs new??? comments or suggestions? i can get one from the dismantler for about $1000, then i get $350 for my core, and then $350 to install....

 

[livingez_123]

is that 1k for a used? if it is, do you live in Hawaii? $1,350 for a rebuilt installed isn't a bad price.

 

[aloha_bruddah]

no i'm in California. it's $1000 for one from the dismantler, i then give them my core, which gives me a $350 credit, then it's going to cost me $350 for the swap, so basically $1k swapped/installed. i get a 6 mo warranty on the swapped tranny.

or

should i have it rebuilt?

My friends did this, it had lost 2nd gear and had to be rebuilt. His failed to loss of pressure and it just went out with no warning signs.

You need to shop around, if your in the valley by SAC or further south. look on CL and there are a bunch of rebuilt 4L60's that are around the same price.

 

[Screwd up 6]

6 month isn't that long of a warranty...Id rather pay a little more for a longer warranty.

 

[aloha_bruddah]

i'm gonna go check out this shop, it's called Raz Automotive, they do tranny's, see what they say...... probably friday....

when i got the truck, it was down 2 quarts of tranny fluid.....it has a leak, but since i got it, i just had it smogged, and it's been sitting, until i figure out the best way to get it up to *****....

1. tranny issue
2. abs/brake light on.......Service Ride Control message
3. brakes pads/rotors (not sure if all needed yet)(i hear a squeal, no brakes applied)
4. front shocks/springs
5. wheels balanced
6. alignment

then major clean up on inside, mostly just steam cleaning carpet, and wiping up dried spills on leather........

not a bad deal for $1200, altho the gurl is a lil upset, but hey, not like i spent her money....

 

[aloha_bruddah]

ok.......... just got it back from the tranny shop, gears 3 and 4 are gone........BOOOOOOOO! so either a new tranny or a rebuild....... Where can i find what a new tranny costs? hahaha, or just call the stealership? They want to rebuild mine at 2k-2500......the shop is reputable, and they've been around a LOOOONG time....i've checked them out, but yea......bummer.....

 

[livingez_123]

Like I have said before, 2,000-2,500 is too much for a good rebuild.

 

[aloha_bruddah]

suggestion??

2 shops quoted me 2k-2500....... 1 shop did quote me 1695....does it matter? I have a 2000 yukon xl 2500 slt 4wd.....maybe that's why it's so high?

 

[Pachanga02]

Looks like I'm on the same boat as you. My lower cooler line broke and leaked out all the fluid fixed that and now I have no 3-D gears. Drives fine in 1-2-R but won't shift past 2nd. I'll be taking mine in on Monday to see how much I get charged to rebuild mine and install my servo.

 

[aloha_bruddah]

you're in new york...... I'm in california..... guess we see who's costs more! hahaha....

 

[Pachanga02]

Dropped mine off an hr ago now wait to see what's wrong with it and how much it'll cost.

 

[GeneralNoobzor]

Just got a quote for $1,960.00 to get my tranny rebuilt. THat includes a free tow and a 12month warranty. F*CK

Called 9 other shops around here in Tucson and that was the cheapest. I guess cause it is 4 wheel drive and all.

 

[aloha_bruddah]

anyone have any luck with a serta tranny??? what about this other place....

http://gottransmissions.com/

i got a quote of 1k, free shipping.....i would just need to find someone to install...you can get 90 day warranty, or for $100 more, you can get a year...
