I don't know whats caused my trans to hold up when so many others have not. Tune,trans cooler, trans go shift kit. Had the tranny cooler and shift kit installed a week after i bought it. 07 GXP 109 km so far...?

 

I had 3 transmissions in my GXP by 33,000, making less than 250whp......

 

I have a cooler as well but havn't done the shift kit yet, 72,000 miles. Mine does sometimes shift really slow between first and second until the temp gets above 100 degrees.

 

Brought it in today, my phone broke up when he said what was wrong, all I caught was ".....front.......spring..... Should be done by Friday afternoon."

 

Quick update, I still don't have my car...

 

Me neither....Yesterday is 3 weeks for mine. The funny thing is, I got my power steering hose recall the other day, and they're doing that today!

 

Mine WILL be done Monday... Only an hour's worth of work left on it. GM saved $300 by having it rebuilt instead of replacing it, even though it takes a week longer...

 

Geez. I'm not sure how I feel about rebuild/versus new.

I just hope the tech knew his **** on mine, because the warranty is up in November and I don't wanna haveto pay for this fix next time.

 

Good luck! Hope he knew too. I figure mine will be back in in a month...

 

The bad part is the rebuilt trans is probably worse quailty than the stock one. So i give you ehhh 15-20k then that one will blow...

Ive got 43k on the clock, shes still shift strong. Its always seemed werid when shifting into OD like it slips in.. I dont know.. I dont care. lol. BLow bitch blow!!

 

Update #2, got the dealer rebuilt in, they drove it, started slipping, then got worse. They now have 'clearance' to put in a GM rebuilt trans... I did finally get a rental though, little Coby sedan.

 

Again... Rebuilt trans will arrive Tuesday, maybe Wednesday... Take a day or two to put in. If it still doesn't work, i dunno, maybe they'll give me a new car...

 

OK, so the ' factory rebuilt' trans is in and guess what it's ******* slipping too. At least I got to halfway drive my car... I'm starting to get tired of this... I should have gotten the Cobalt SS/TC...

What's the next step? Do the put in a brand new trans? Are there even any? Can I make them put in a 6T75?

 

you should ask them if they will pay for someone whos knows what there doing to fix it.

 

I know right... Well, this one was slipping because... THERE WAS A LOOSE HOSE... and it was low on trans fluid... Oh well, it's running properly for now. Let's hope it stays that way.

 

Are you f'ing kidding, they gave it back to you low on fluid?!?!?!

 

I'd find a different stealership to take my car to if I were you.

 

my girlfriend brought her car to pepboys and they did an transmittion fluid change. Well they forgot to put fluid back in it and gave it back to her like that....

 

You didn't do the fluid change for her? What kind of man are you?

J/K!!

I wouldn't let those monkies touch any of my cars. I've heard too many stories like yours!

 

No, sorry, I mistyped that I guess, it was 5 quarts low from the loose hose that was leaking. But still, they gave it back with a leaking/loose hose and wanted to say it was something I had done to make it slip again. Needless to say, I'm traveling an hour next time to a different, better dealership, just went to that one because it was closer and more convenient, because I work in the same city.
