Default Who's had tranny problems on their Monte?

With the post by xxxtheshockerxx in the Off Topic section about a possible tranny problem on this '07 SS with only 38,500 miles on it, I got to wondering if tranny problems are common on our Montes and how many other MCF members have had or currently have some problems with the tranny on their Montes.

Have you ever had any problems with the tranny on your Monte? What was the problem and how much did it cost to fix it (or replace the tranny if you did that)? How many miles on your Monte when you starting experiencing the problem?

The tranny on our '02 MC SS failed at about 90K miles. It probably only died because I listened to the dealer service manager who insisted it should last 100K with the original fluid/filter.

I had the tranny rebuilt (expensive, maybe $2K if I recall). We've put about 60K miles on the rebuilt tranny. I change the fluid / filter every 30K now.

I got code P0700....

Most likely the TCC Solenoid (50ish dollar part) or the Torque converter(150 for a reman, 300+ for a good new one)..At least 800 in labor..

Only happens when in 4th and i give it a little gas, wont downshift..Im living with it for now.

The longer you put off the repair, the more potential damage could be done to your transmission
