2007 Chevy Silverado Trans Problems by frock10

I have a 2007 Silverado and have had problems with the transmission since approx. 900 miles. It started with a grinding noise being made when shifting to 2-3 gears. The first repair made was replacing the 3-4th plates & piston, low roller clutch, reaction carrier, and internal gear. I started having problems again round 2300 miles. They then had to replace the housing, oil ring, valves, and gaskets to repair it. I was already upset because I wanted a new transmission the first time I had issues and the dealer said GM refused. Gotta love GM... Not... It was fine for a while and it started to have problems again but the dealer has said not to bring it back till it dies. I have close to 20,000 miles on it and it still is doing the same thing, goes into 3rd hard when shifting or slips into 3rd when shifting. It is frustrating and I am attempting to find someone to replace it regardless.
 
Has anyone else had any of these issues?

You might want to try another dealer. You can also call GM direct on the customer service line provided in your owners manual. Most dealers will send out transmission work rather than work on it themselves due to the complexity of the job. Also GM will tend to follow what the dealer recommends so I wouldn't put all the blame on them. Your dealer had something to do if they did indeed deny replacing the trans.

Thanks for the advice... I have always thought it wasn't right for the dealer to tell me to bring it back only when it dies... I have given copies of the repair sheets to a couple of other individuals and they are looking in the system to see what has been done and what else could be done to repair the problems. It still seems that a replacement transmission would be the best thing to have done and let GM look at the old one to verify what failures occurred and the reasons for them. I am hoping I will hear something soon....

2006 gmc seirra transmission shift by b36

My 2006 gmc 1500 with 5.3 v8 4x4 and automatic trans gives a thump when shifting at low speed the shift is at around 15mph.when in traffic or driving in a development. It only happens when you creep up on the shift speed. If you can go a little faster it shifts through smoothly. the truck only has 10000 miles on it. i had a 2004 envoy wjith a 6 and never noticed this. Any advice thanks.

I own a 2000 Silverado with 41,000 miles that appears to have the same problem as your truck. Mine has acted up about 6 times over the past 3 years. The problem usually goes away very quickly; however yesterday it lasted 10 miles until I got home - this morning truck shifted normally. Had truck in last year while still under warantee but dealer could not find the problem. I was wondering if you solved your problem, and if so, what did it turn out to be?

The shifting problem was electrical. The battery had a crack and dripped acid onto the wire harness and as the wire covering desolved and the bare wires crossed the transmission would kick out of gear. When the coating desolved completely and the wires crossed then the truck would not start and the dealer found the problem. New battery, fixed the wiring and all is well. Transmission shifts fine and it appears that the problem was electrical. Hope this helps.
