I think my auto trannys done. help


Recommended Posts

I drive a 2006 seirra 1500 5.3 4wd and it has about 130xxx miles. I only owned it about 8 months now. On the way home I noticed my rpms where higher than usual when the truck shifted. I was about 5 miles from home when I came to a stop light. It turned green? I babied the gas but the truck jerked and didn't want to move forward. As I let my foot off the gas the truck slammed in gear and only moved like 15 feet. The transmission was in drive but I wasn't moving anywhere. Tried switching to R, 3 2 1 and still nothing. Truck sat there for like 30 mins, went to switch to D and the trucked moved. Still have the same problem of almost red lining to switch gears. Had to have it towed home.

 

I'm pretty sure the trannys done. But this being my first truck would like to just make sure. My budget is only about 2g as of right now. Should I get the tranny rebuilt or just get one from like autozone or something? Any help is appreciated

My remanufactured tranny was about $1200 including the rear main seal, although it wasn't done at a corporate chain/shop... Most common places wanted $2-3k.

 

Its been 4 years and I haven't had any problems at all. (Knocking on wood...)
