Hooray! 2002 TB is gone.

I just finished with my 3rd transmision repair and since I had to pay for this one I decided that I had enough.

Each of the 3 times the transmission broke it was the same issue - broken reaction shell. Apparently since it is stamped steel and the shaft that goes into it is hardened steel, it is prone to being stripped. When it breaks you will lose 3rd gear and reverse. Chevy is aware of the issue but has done nothing about it. This is the primary reason that I went to the Nissan dealership and bought a 4 door Frontier LE. It has tons of power and the build quality is great. I love the way the doors sound when they are closed (THUMP!) nice and solid.

Good luck with your transmissions, brake lights, wind noise, squeeks and rattles.

I am done with Chevy,

Thats what you get for buying the 1st year that a vehicle platform is in production, recalls and problems are more than expected until they work the bugs out.
