Hope you're not having to gas that beast for long, or you'll really have spent some dough all said and done.
If I have to take a second day off to finish the job (estimated 10 hour job, but I have some tricks up my sleeve) that will be another $92 coming out to a total of $404.
You made plans?You are young yet but over time you will learn it never goes quite like the plan.Parts are finally ordered. Hoping they arrive when they say they will, as I have everything planned around it...
As far as I know, yes.
Around $2400 for a rebuild at a good trans shop down the road from home. $500 for the repair kit if I attempt it myself. So far I've succeeded on repairing this car myself, big jobs and little, but I've never done trans work before. Smart guy would not try this myself. Cheap, stubborn guy would. I dunno, got another couple shops to call first.
can i take off my clothes during your project
Well having done that stuff for a living, really wish you the best. Having all the right tools is important, but knowing exactly what your doing is even more so!
You may find cutting corners isn't all that it's pumped out to be!
Still miracles happen! Take photos of every step of the way, that is the positive thing about digital photography!
If a part fails, there may be other "unknown" parts that failed first that you don't know about!
Best of luck!
Absolutley not I need not be blinded during this particular venture.
Tools needed? Check.
Knowledge? Semi-check
Photo-taking device? Check.
I will also be dropping the pan first to check for metal content. If the filter/pan is littered with metal shavings, then the project stops there, as it is going to need more than the pump. In which case, I will re-open my search for a used transmission to swap in.
Had Dad check it out. (GM Tranny specialist.) Fluid level is the same in drive as it is with the car off and in park. Erego pump is not engaging. I'm figuring the shaft stripped, so I'm going to rpelace it all. If I don't need the parts, I can send them back for a full refund, no problem. These tend to fail in this transmission, causing the downfall of most of them. These are most certainly not bulletproof
