well it dont need a whole tranny, it needs a 50 dollar part. aka 4 th gear hub

ya but the labor to even do it is still more then the car cost....
hahah good movie

i bet a pm to billboost37 may result in a cheaper then you think repair in the end. hes in ct. moving or moved to mass.
thats if hes still doing work on cars on the side. last i heard he was doing work here and there.

i think its the tranny... its starting to shift really hard into all the gears now too. I work on cars i just dont have the tranny jack to do the job... i pulled the dipstick and it smells burnt. im not sure if its because of the 4th gear issue or the trans is on its way out
03-26-2014
kicker is you dont "have" to remove the tranny to fix a 4 th hub.
a tranny gone bad is no reason to get rid of a car, unless its a full blown turd and rotting out.

haha which it is.... RR strut tower is rotted and my passenger side rocker is completely rotted to hell

You can get one for 30 shipped off ebay.

then the title says it all. goodbye tranny.
dump some lucas in it and drive it till its done.

If I were you I'd try a pan drop and filter change before making any final decisions. It can be done with very few tools and could possibly help 1st through 3rd gear. 4th gear can also be replaced in car by lowering the engine and transmission with support from above.
Don't give up just yet. My transmission was slamming into gear, shifting ridiculously slow, and had basically black fluid a month after I bought it. I did some work at home and now it's legitimately shifting firm, fast, and just straight perfect.

when a tranny is slipping your not supposed to change the fluid.. it usually makes it worse. im changing the 4th gear hub in my drive way soon and then trading it in
03-28-2014
they will never know its missing 4 th. just trade it in, no sense in doing the 4 th hub when the rest is crapping out and your trading it in.

I have to find the truck i want first.... for whatever reason finding a 2011 GMC 2500hd extended cab with leather seats around here is near impossible

We just spent $2280 nope not a typo, we thought about junking the car and trying to find a replacement GTP, but we would end up with another GTP that could have a trans issue, so we said screw it and paid to have the trans pulled rebuilt, new Torque Converter and then replaced. (also had new brakes done)
In the end we have a nice clean GTP with a good trans and a warranty. We really do love the car, it drives nice, is fairly quick for a family sedan.
If the body on your car is rotted badly, I would just leave the trans as is, because the dealer won't give you much for the car with a bad chassis/body anyway. As mentioned they may not even notice 4th gear on a city test drive.
03-29-2014
the body is trash. bad rocker panels and bad RR strut tower ... i probably won't even trade the car in.... ill probably try to sell it to some kid who wants a raceKAR. try and get maybe 2000 for it so i can get the plow prep on the truck
