Im leaking really bad between the transfer case and transmission..... Just wondering what it should cost to get the seal replaced, IF thats what it is?

Three weeks ago, we purchased a new 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500--4x4. It has 1500 miles on it. We had the windows tinted today (approx. 60 miles from home), and the gear shift won't budge! Of course, it is under warranty, but I am wondering if this is a common problem. A co-worker of mine had a brand new Chevy Avalanche, and the transmission went out at 8000 miles.

it is tough to say. mine went out at 7,000. and i have heard of a couple of others. but mine is the new body 2007 and a lot of trannys have been made in that time. It has 56K on it now. I pull a boat(22 ft), 4-wheeler trailer(4 4-wheelers) and have used it to pull a loaded car dolly several times. it is strong as an ox. keep-it. -- chuck

Hi, I Had The Same Problem With My 1994 Chevy 4L60E And It Was The Brake Switch Not Letting The Lockup Converter Work Causing It To Over Heat On Longer Trips.It Will Run Hotter Than Normal. So Check To See If Your Lockup Is Working, If Not Then Replace The Brake Switch On Your Brake Pedal. If It Is Bad It Will Sometimes Not Let Your Cruise Work Neither. "Hope This Helps"

#677 of 1487 95 Silverado 6.5 TD NEED HELP ASAP!! TRANNY FILTER! JOB IN PROGRESS! by rossww

Sep 12, 2010 (8:13 am)

I'm in the middle of changing the tranny filter. The filter's seal is still in the housing and I need to get it out. I don't want to destroy the housing. The new filter's seal does not detach from the filter. I've seen a video on YouTube where he says to use a hammer and screwdriver to mangle it up a bit then you can get pliers around it and pull it out. Is this correct or is there a better way? (using a hooked tool doesn't work)
Also, I snapped the head off a seized bolt on the pan (holds the shift linkage cable bracket in place -1 of 2 bolts. What's best? Heat? liquid wrench (could contaminate tranny fluid)? easy out tool (bolt is already seized, will it work?)? -any suggestions?
Please reply soon as the truck's in the driveway, the job is ready to go back together, and it's about to rain!

#679 of 1487 Delay in Trans? shifting in R by kmud1

Sep 13, 2010 (6:01 pm)

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 liter V8. With 148,000 miles on it. I have a rebuild trans in it. About a month ago I it started delaying going in Reverse. I fine it does it when it been running for a long time and in drive for a while. When I go to put it in R it light up on the dash that its in R and my back up lights are on. If I take my foot of the brake to give it gas to go back wards it will start rolling forward. If I gi ve it a little bit of gas it will make a lond clunk from underneath the truck and then it will go back wards. Its been to my trans place and they did fine a leak and fixed it. But its still doing and its starting to bother me as I use this truck to pull a horse trailer. And when it does it, It screws every thing up. I love my Chevy But wish I can afford a new one with more torque and diesel.
