Hello everyone,

I know I have been away for a while but I just thought I'd let you know that I just joined the blown tranny club. So, I take the car to have the steering rack checked out out as there's a seal leak and a pulley whine somewhere. I told the guy to order the parts, mainly a new steering steering rack :secret2:. Then on the next day I go for a drive, a minute later the tranny gave up:bang::confused:. I had to stop in the middle of the road to turn it off and back on so it goes back to the first gear for a few seconds, made it home. Towed it to Mr. Transmission the morning after. Apparently it needs some electrical work and a transmission rebuild. All this happened at 58000 KMs :nod:haha. Also note that it was running very weird the past few weeks especially the few days before it died.
Sorry to make you read all that but I wanted to share my thoughts with you guys.

Don't waste your money on a refurbished transmission from GM!!! Talk to Dave at TEP and you will never have this problem again!!!!

X2.

If you buy a reman from GM, you'll only have the same problem again later on.

Call Dave @ TEP and never have to worry about it. Besides, a built trans from TEP still costs less than a GM reman.

Is it a stock GM rebuild, but with the ZZP shift kit?

Be careful now... We all know what happens when non-sponsor solicitations happen.

threads disappear AND people die:secret2:
