#198 of 221 Help please by jbnurse43 Jun 22, 2009 (5:41 pm)
I own a 2003 Chevy Blazer with 90,000 miles on it. I have been telling the mechanic I felt the Transmission was going on it for over a year. I took my car in again today and requested another checkup for the vehicle as it seems to be running rougher. the upshot is, they say the Transmission needs to be replaced and it will cost me.?? or purchase another vehicle.
#199 of 221 cost comparison by duntov Jun 23, 2009 (3:48 am)
A rebuilt transmission will cost about $1600 including labor. Can you get another car that is dependable for that much? I will never buy a new car again because they are too expensive and depreciate too fast. Three years after you buy a new car all you have is another used car but you still have new car payments.
#200 of 221 Transmission Stuck In First Gear by bigd23 Jun 23, 2009 (2:21 pm)
I have a 1997 GMC Jimmy,auto,4x4. I have changed the filter and fluids but nothing has changed. I can put it in reverse and drive and has no slippage but when it is in drive it will not change out of first. I can go 20 mph and let off the gas and it seems like it is in neutral. Does anyone know what it could be? Replies to this message: rustysblazer87 (Aug 13, 2009 6:45 pm)
#201 of 221 Re: Hard shifing when hot [repairdog] by bellasmom522 Jun 25, 2009 (5:44 am)
Replying to: repairdog (Nov 10, 2006 1:31 pm) The same thing is happening with my 98 blazer, has almost 90,000 miles. We took the truck to a shop and they rebuilt the transmission. It was shifting harder than before and when we took it back they replaced the computer. bare with me as I do not know that much about cars. It is still shifting hard when it is hot and we took it back for a third time. They rebuilt the transmission again (no charge) wich took four days instead of two days the first time we took it. The blazer is STILL shifting hard feels like the tranny is going to fall out! I called the shop and told them we are taking it to the dealer for a second opinion the guy at the shop got mad and told me there is nothing wrong with the transmission there has to be something else wrong with the truck. I am taking it to the dealer today, any idea what it could be?
#202 of 221 transmission problem by 2004_jimmy_zr2 Jul 22, 2009 (7:49 pm)
I have an 04 jimmy with a transmission problem, it seems like there's not enough power when accelerating and when it shifts it feels like its pulling back. When I turn on to a down hill street and let off the gas i can hear a clunk. it feels like the transmission gears are loose if that makes any sense?   I dont know very much about cars at all and i dont want to take it to a transmission shop and get ripped off so i need to know what is going on first   please help me if you know whats going on with it   thanks

Replying to: jmhan222 (Jul 31, 2009 6:34 pm) Well, with those kind of miles on it, anyone who opens it up will want to rebuild it. Keep in mind that there are several companies online that will ship you a rebuilt unit with a warranty for $1000 to $1200. Changing it out isn't that difficult, so if a local comes up with $3K be aware that there are cheaper alternatives.   S10Warehouse down in Florida has this used one for sale:   4L60E   I have dealt with them in the past with very good service.

Replying to: jmhan222 (Jul 31, 2009 6:34 pm) I have a 93 Blazer that had a transmission problem about four years ago, I pulled the transmission myself and decided I couldn't put it back in myself and had a local shop tow it to their shop to do the repair. It cost a little over $3,000.00 and after about a year it went out again but they repaired it under warranty as they did the next 2 times it went out, the last time the engine rpm started running away when in cruise control and being on any slight rise that made ther transmission kick down, this time they took it to the trans shop and he turned up the pressure on it, it now shifts very solid and has picked up a couple of miles per gallon in fuel economy. If I knew what I know now I would have put the money into a newer vehicle, probably with a standard transmission and been much happier. Mine has 209,000 miles on it now, it had about 187,000 miles on it when the first Transmission went out. I don't drive it very much.
#207 of 221 Transmission replacement by duntov Aug 01, 2009 (8:16 am)
I had a auto repair shop remove, rebuild and replace the transmission in my 1998 F-150 Ford pick up and it cost $1600 including a new torque converter and I thought that was a little high. I paid it anyway because the shop was recommended by a person who had a transmission replaced there. The cost of removing, rebuilding and replacing any model of passenger car or pick up transmission is about the same price. A price of $3,000 is far too high. You can do better than that at neary any repair shop. I have never heard of a rebuilt transmission costing more than $1800 including a new torque converter. The additional labor cost for removing and replacing a transmission is from $200 to $250.
