Transmission broke.... wouldn't shift into 3rd gear. Dealer fixed input shaft, pump, cover, and reconditioned clutch, all under warranty. Dont know much about transmissions and was wonderin if there maybe anything to be concerned about regarding the repair that was done, or future problems to watch out for. Google didn't give me much info on these parts/function.

 

They got it back to me pretty quick, out for 2 days waiting on the part to be sent. Galles here in Albuquerque did the work. I've been pretty happy with their service in the past. Thanks

Glad to hear it's fixed back up. Any ideas on what caused it to break? Was it working hard when it let go?

Naw, havn't worked it hard at all. I'm generally pretty easy going on it, no towing at all. I just noticed the problem with the shift failing after gettin it out on the highway from work. No noise like it was lettting go, or sounds from it, 'cept the shudder from the gear/speed difference when it couldn't find the correct gear.

 

Dunno what may cause the problem, unless it's just cheap or defective parts. Like I mentioned, don't know much at all about transmissions, so wasn't clear on what those parts replaced/repaired were being effected by.

Yeah, that's definitely kinda odd. Guess it was just some defective part as you mentioned. Hopefully its good to go now :thumbs:

Had a complete rebuild on the tranny on my 07 at 11,000 miles. No tune, no abuse, just a loud clank one day and I wasn't going anywhere. The words from the Mechanic when he pulled it down and started looking: "What a mess..."

Yikes, mine is about to hit 11,000 miles. So far everything seems good though.

 

Sounds like you had some bad parts as I haven't really heard of anyone else having those issues.

I'd say it was just a "one chance in a million" part failure. It sucks but it does happen. Most are having quite good luck with these transmissions and GM has been building them for a number of years.

 

I'd bet the trouble is behind you.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
