I have owned my Silverado for less than 90 days, and the transmission is now giving me problems. Specifically, it will no longer enter 3rd/4th gears. 1st, 2nd and Reverse work just fine. There are no abnormal noises coming from the transmission and the truck isn't acting differently than normal (other than the loss of 3rd & 4th). The transmission fluid is both dirty and low, but it is not burned. The only warning of this issue I received was the transmission hunting between 3rd and 4th and the idiot lights coming on for hot transmission (first the warning, then the critical). When I saw the critical, I shifted to neutral and coasted until it went out (I was on a freeway with no lane in which to stop). Any idea what is wrong? Obviously, I'd like to not replace the transmission. Thanks for any help.

Replying to: obyone (Jun 26, 2008 2:52 am) I took it to a local AAMCO, and they said there was fine metal in the pan. They wanted an additional $479 to dismount it, crack the case, and see what was wrong. Although I thought that was fairly reasonable, 1) I don't have a spare $479 at the moment and 2) I am ultimately going to replace it with a beefed up one, so I'm not going to fool with it for now. Thanks. obyone said: "Over heated with low and dirty fluid and the truck is 9 years old. I'd say you're in for at least an overhaul." |

| My truck was rough shifting from 1st and 2nd gear(alomost jumping). Also it would idle too fast. i finally took is to the dealer and they said is was the Throddle positioning sensor. The part by itself costs $140. For a awhile there I was getting whiplash. They fixed it and now the truck shift smoother than ever. I thought the trans was going. Whew! I hope this helps. | |
