My transmission is starting to give out, and ive started looking at the internet sites to look for a new one. What are some things that i need to look for when buying a new one. Should i go and get mine rebuilt, or should i buy a previously rebuilt one. any help would be appreicated.

 

how do you know its going out? have you pulled the tranny codes? have you tried a new filter and fluid? tell us whats going on first. might be something cheaper then a rebuilt e4od those are very very expensive

 

as i was driving down the road i heard a grinding noise and then the engine rpms went way up, because i was on the gas, and there was no more power to the wheels. the shifter just glided through the positions on the indicator and wouldnt catch at any position. i shifted into park and then sat for a minute and then i tried to shift it into gear again. it only locked into the spot for low(1). as i was driving i tried to shift into normal drive and it worked. when i was parking at the house, i shifted from reverse to drive and the lever stuck but again no power was going to the wheels...i hope that helps thanks

 

is pulling the tranny codes the same as pulling the codes from the obd2 plug?

 

are you sure your Tcase isnt malfunctioning ? i would replace the fluid and filter if its been awhile and go from there. yes pulling codes should be the same i believe

 

alright....i got it figured out after i pulled the codes....thanks

 

So what was the verdict, can't leave us hangin' like that.....

 

i must just be a drama queen...i found out that there was nothing wrong, no codes. so i looked under the floor mat and found a screw that apparently had fallen out. i looked and looked for a place it came from and i found a hole where the lever meets what looks like a shock?????(something under the steering column... any way whith once screw in and one out, every thing was offset. as soon as i can get my hands on a six point star screw driver bit, i will be able to put it back in and check things out. sorry about not explaining....but i kind of feel stupid
