Hey, the key words were 'as far as I know'. Accept the free advice for what it is.
Still, I think that the repair shop was giving you a load of BS by blaming the bands on a GM car. You would not be the first person to have a transmission problem fixed by a relatively small repair, but charged a whopping big bill, since the mechanic can blame the 'bands' because we don't know any better.
I have not advised Spartus on his trans problem because it could be lots of things, from an improperly adjusted TV cable or throttle position sensor (depending on year) to a blocked fluid filter.

However, I do know that on a GM vehicle, it is not the bands.
