#128 of 503 2000 Silverado "Pops" out of 1st by zante64 Aug 03, 2007 (2:49 pm)
I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS 2WD with the 4.8 liter and 5sp manual tranny. It's been incredibly relaible and trouble free until I hit 135,000 miles. (about 30% heavy hauling/towing & 70% freeway commute with almost no "stop&go" traffic. Suddenly it pops out of first gear from a stop. This happens at least 50% of the time now. Sometimes it happens quietly, other times it sounds like I hit a boulder! Anyone experience this? How difficult is it to put in a upgraded beefier trans?

Replying to: pablo209 (Aug 19, 2007 5:15 pm) hello pablo209. My husband just put a transmission in our 1998 Sierra 1500 & i went & got him 13 quarts of tranny fluid & he put all of it in. So i would say 13 quarts.

Replying to: pablo209 (Aug 19, 2007 5:15 pm) Its a matter of trial and error. I'd guess buy 10, start with six probably use 7 or 8, measure as you go cause there is a whole bunch left in the converter. Probably end up with 2 or 3 left over that you can either return or keep.

Replying to: mrplow (Aug 22, 2007 8:28 pm) i put about 7 quarts of tranny fluid in. im pretty sure that is the right amount after some trial and error. but now my truck wont start at all.. im not sure what the problem is

Replying to: mrplow (Aug 22, 2007 8:28 pm) hello just thought i'd drop a line to let ya know we put another transmission in our truck. We bought it as is & it lasted 2 weeks. so we had some bad luck. to cure our headache we went and bought a 2005 chevy silverado. Of course this does not help our 1998 GMC but at least we are mobile again. My advice is make sure, if you change the tranny (which u probaly will) you get a good tranny. We are know looking for another tranny. it is a 4L60E. Thanks for the inquiry.

#136 of 503 03 GMC SIERRA 1-2 TRANNY SHIFT LURCH by bbbtrixie Sep 05, 2007 (7:54 am)
When my truck is cold, I have a very hard shift into 2nd gear. Once it warms up, the hard shift is sporadic but mostly goes away. I can also feel a very slight grind just before it shifts into 2nd gear. The truck has 90000 kms. ANY ADVICE? Replies to this message: kcram (Sep 05, 2007 3:23 pm) bbbtrixie (Sep 19, 2007 4:40 pm)

Replying to: bbbtrixie (Sep 05, 2007 7:54 am) That's usually a good indication you need a transmission service. New filter, band adjustment, screen cleaning, fresh fluid... should cure that shifting. With the pan dropped, anything else will be spotted. kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: bbbtrixie (Sep 19, 2007 4:40 pm)
