Transurgeon,
I have an '88 K1500 and have been having an issue, actually a several issues with the tranny.
- When I am running at Freeway speed ~ 65 MPH I can feel the tranny shifting up then down repeatedly. The speed is not varying, but the tranny keeps alternating.
- (This one is going to sound nuts but...) When I go around a left hand corner (not a gradual corner but more say at an intersection.) The tranny seems to slip for a second and then grab a gear. I have not noticed this on a right hand turn .... only left.
- There is a delay between 2nd and 3rd gear. It seems to shift out of second, at which time the RPM's increase then it shifts to third about a half to full second later.
Any Ideas?
I have had started a running battle with the local Chev. Dealer in regards to this beacuse the tranny is still under warranty. The guy that I purchased the pickup from had the orignal tranny replaced by "Mr. Goodwrench" in 3/02 - he had to have the replacement replaced under warranty in 8/02. The tranny was given a 3year 36k warranty. Here it is 24 mo. and 12k later and "Mr. Goodwrench" is telling me that he's not sure that the warranty can be transferred after one tranny was already replaced under warranty.
What a load of crap!
The warranty paper work clearly states that the warranty is fully tranferable to subsequent owners. Not to mention they are counting the warranty period from March (When the original tranny was replaced) not August (When the replacement was replaced.) I have all of the paper work and receipts.......
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance
