    Default 4L60E problems, replacement options. [Expired Topic]

    I have a 1999 chevy 4x4 suburban with over 80,000 miles clocked. The tranie is starting to not like reverse and I am afraid that it may be getting ready to give up the ghost.

    I am not going to go to one of the tranie chains for repairs and I am not sure that I trust the dealer.

    Where else should I go to get a reliable tranie?

    thanks
    Rich

    order a goodwrench and put it in yourself. i know there expensive but other than finding someone who knows what they are doing inside one of these is really going to be hard. i have a friend who does nuthing but trans rebuilds and he wont touch these new overdrives, to many elec. components in side.

    so you are saying that the dealer/chevy rebuild is the way to go?

    I also have a ford f350 and their rebuilt tranies are not worth the time to install.
