im hoping it will last me atleast 6 more months. my service wrighter at work, her husband is a gm master tech and said he would help me rebuild it.

i just need to know what parts i should rebuild it with and where to get all of them for a resonable price. i dont want to spend 2 grand or more on a rebuilt trans.
 
I work at a GM dealership.... typical rebuilts run 700-900 on parts the rest is labor... lot in labor to rebuild a tranny... that being said that is with GM parts from a dealership, would prolly be less if you go aftermarket unless you need something major in the tranny and not just clute/plate packs, bands and the other stuff that wears out
good luck and be gentle on it and MAYBE itll last the 6 mnths:th_thumbsup-wink:
 


i plan on going with all after market parts. except the few solenoids that are recromended to get from gm.
 
Really depends on what you decide to do.

Master kit with clutches and steels plus seals is around $150-$200
Hardened 4th hub shaft ~$60
Fluid $35
Filter $10
Reman torque converter ~$150-$600

From there it's what else do you do
Soleniods ~$150-$200
Valve body upgrades ~$150-$200 in parts + tools that most don't have
Input shaft ~$450
Bushing set
Shift kit
etc etc.
 
i was thinking of upgrading the imput shaft cause i know it will be a weak link once i do the other upgrades at the same time.

my plan is to change the cam while i am rebuilding the trans. install a 3000 rpm stall converter,s2 intercooler, custom pcm tune, headers and stainless 3" exhaust, port the heads more with a ported blower and LIM, and probly a 2.8-3.0 pulley
 
For a standard rebuild, like i did, basically every new part i could get including master rebuild kit, bushings, bearings, solenoids and a rebuilt torque converter, cost right at $400.
 


i have noticed a little jerking lately when the trans gets hot and the temp gauge needle is above the 1/4 mark on the temp gauge but below th 210 mark. it double jerks when i press the gas to make it down shift.
