Thanks everyone for the help with the other threads.

The car went to the dealer and they're diagnosing it as internal transmission problems. It has been acting funky lately, with random TCS engagement and Service Stabilitrak lights.

She was going to get traded in today also, looks like she doesn't want to go!

 

sounds like last month was the perfect time to trade it in

 

I might wait until early next year now. We'll see though, hopefully it doesn't take them too long to get it squared away.

 

I thought they still take it like that. Jus tow it or have them pick it up.

 

Disintegrated TCC.

Sucks, man.

 

they will, but also they will only give him half of what the would normaly in trade vaule.

 

Also found out it's not going to be a rebuild, theyre going to replace it. That's good news, for the next owner of the Impala

 

I should have seen this coming.

I found an old post when I was referring to our trannies going out.

Ain't that a bitch lol

 

bitch asses

 

Haha. I have no hard feelings. They're taking care of it as it falls under my powertrain warranty. I won't have it beyond that so I'm not complaining.

 

lmao, mine went around 40,500.

 

im at 80,000, miles and hasnt gone out ...yet

 

im at 60k and thinking about trading her in, needs new tires after i put new potenzas on 1 year ago, and the trans thing scares me big time.. and the gas mileage isnt the greatest so i know i can save some $$ there

 

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm not a weekend dragstrip warrior by any means, but I do an occasional 20 mph roll romp every now and then.

I'm at 30xxx now and have GM warranty till 12/14 with Buick roadside assistance.

 

I sold mine with 64700 with the trans still in good shape with nice firm shifts. A couple shudders in downshifting a couple times but no real issues.

 

It's a good thing you're trading the car. They're most likely going to put a remanufactured trans that may not even have the LS4 gear train. Accordingto Dave @ TEP, the remans are bascially junk.

The trans failures have little to do with how the cars are treated, as the failures are engineering and quality related. It just sucks that we drive around with these ticking time-bombs.

 

Sorry to hear about the issues. I heard through Tony that you were looking at trading it in and were selling some of the go fast parts off the car. He asked me if I wanted them and I passed because I don't run the car often enough to mess with it. Good luck with everything.

 

I'm not generally fans of remans in general. I replace CVT trannies at work on a weekly basis. Sometimes the remans are worse the the original failed trannies

I had no idea you were Garlen's partner. I'd give you a badass mustache discount (Tony mentioned how badass it is) lol

 

It's actually gone now. Those things get annoying after a while. It was grown for Halloween to be a part of my costume.
