Chevrolet Silverado - Transmission |
|||||||
|
My truck is a 2000 Silverado with 107,000 miles. I use it quite a lot as you can see with the miles traveled in 2 1/2 years. I bought it new and had no trouble until 49,700 miles. Transmission died. Extended warranty co. replaced it. 97,800 miles tranny shot again. Replaced again this time with only a 12,000-mile warranty. I have 2 years left on the mortgage. How many more trannies will I put in this pig? Marvin of Powell TN (9/15/03):
The noise I encountered was the crankshaft thrust bearing. There was .070 fore and aft movement in the crankshaft. The transmission would not want to shift out of 1st into 2nd for about 3/8 mile, then it would shift extremely hard for the next 3/8 mile, then shift normally after that (except for trying to go from a dead stop from 2nd, without going to 1st until I started to accelerate, then it would shift into 1st and bark the tires.) I have reserched some on the internet, and found out that the problem with the crankshaft thrust bearing is most likely caused by the transmission pressure being too high in the torque converter causing excessive force to be applied against the crankshaft thrust bearings. I haven't been able to find out any information on the cause of the problems in the transmission or it they are related, but it seems logical that there is a relationship. I have replaced the transmission shift solenoids, but there has been no change in the malfunction. There are no codes stored in the computer. This is going to cost me a transmission rebuild, and a crankshaft replacement in the motor. Probably well over 2k at a dealer. I am handicapped and this is a lot of money for me.
