I have a 2000 Monte Carlo SS 3.8 and the other day I went to drive it and I put it in drive and the engine reved up and the car started moving then when I gave it more gas the car seemed to grab the gear and it jerked. This only happens when I go foward from a complete stop. When the car is moving it runs just fine. I checked the transmission fluid and it was ok. I was thinking if I just need to get the transmission filter and oil need to be changed. Has anybody had this problem before. I hope somebody can help me.

 

is your Service light lit?

 

Have you had it checked for trans codes yet?

Here is some good info on the 4t65e (i believe that's what you have, someone please correct me if im wrong)

Mine turned out to be code P1811.

 

Does anybody know about how much money it will cost to get mt transmission rebuilt ?

 

if i had to guess, i would say 2k - 2.5k for a full and roughly 1k - 1.5k for a partial. (shop charges)

 

these days its usually more cost efficient to purchase a remanufactured unit as opposed to having yours rebuilt.

 

Most definitely, i paid $700 for a 17k replacement trans from Morad.

 

I don't trust transmission shops to rebuild at all. I deal with several transmission shops daily, some of these guys I consider good close personal friends. But I wouldn't buy an apple from those guys, I so don't trust them. One place just disassembles, cleans everything with brake clean and reassembles, calling that a rebuild - they never buy parts. Transmission shops never want to stand behind their work.

I got stories. Lots of them. Don't let a transmission shop rebuild it
