Well this truck continues to drain our wallet for a tranny every 18-24 months.
Quit wanting to back out of the driveway this morning about half way up.
In the dark all I could see was that there's fluid on the stick & it didn't smell burnt.
Any chance it could just be a bad valve or something on the outside of he tranny, that doesn't require removal or a stack of $50's this high----- ?
Yeah, call me a dreamer~
For the record this one was supposed to be uprated, with new & improved cages etc, has about 25K on it since the r&r, but that was 2 years ago.
Cris

The 700r4 is junk. My 95 Impala has 150K on the origional. How it has lasted this long I don't know.
Your rebuild shop should be doing something for you. If not I would go to GM. At least they will give you 36K at least.

The EO4LE trany is a "Beefed up" version of the 700r4.
Basically the same thing.
