Default Finally!! After 3weeks!!!

after calling the main service guy every 2 days he needed it to be ok`d by gm, iam out of warranty, but we work closely with this dealership, iam getting the TSB done new trans and new torque convertor!!!

my car has been driving like ****!! gas mileage is down, and the shutter is so bad it feels like iam driving a 4 wheeled vibrator, iam happy about it since they almost got shut down

lets just hope this is the last major repair needed to this car
