1997 Chevy Silverado Tranny problem

price is lower than most. 1000 is a good deal.

make sure to check the fluid condition. with old tranny rebuilds the fluid will most times start to get dark because of old loosened deposits. after a few thousand miles a pan drop filter change would be good. also use dexron VI to prevent any acid build up in the fluid. I hope they used dexronVI not the discontinued dexron III.

good luck.

Well when I arrived to pick up my truck, he said he still had to fill it with transmission fluid and test it. Does that mean he changed out the transmission fluid?

with a rebuild the complete fluid is removed. then the transmission is cleaned then the rebuild begins.

new fluid is then added about 11 qts to fill on rebuild. the dexron III is not GM approved. the fluid is now dexron VI.

in a hot climate with a poor cooling system dexron III with turn to acid in 10,ooomi. this is why GM no longer approves of this type fluid.
