You Thought I Was Lying About GM Transmissions

[yyfreak]

Im at 92k. You’re completely wrong because I cant afford a new transmission

[beastfromtheeast]

I used to work in the GM shop, there was one tech dedicated to swapping transmissions, all day every day

[Subjectiveopinion.]

And they got nerve to be charging 70k+ for them now. You won’t even pay it off before this problem happens.

[Hatchet-wyvn]

Thank you for the post and heads up on the codes. I am disgusted with ALL new trucks/SUV's.

[AbronHawkins]

GM got billions from taxpayers in bailouts during the bankruptcy and this is the thanks we got?

[robsjdmaccord]

They don’t want you driving the same truck for 400k anymore they want it to break as soon as possible

[leonardosaenz]

It's called planned obsolescence. They perfected it to break down immediately after the 100, 000 powertrain warranty expires

[Slumpeeee]

You’re right on brother, my dad has a 2000 Chevy with zero problems, same transmission and engine, but his newer Chevy traverse already had a transmission replacement at 20k

[A-BombEnergy]

I actually just made a miniature documentary on GM and transmissions was part of it. People can get offended brother but truth is truth. Keep up the good work and spreading the message.

[ελευθερία-εο]

They've perfected the breakdowns to occur as soon as warranties expire 😂

GM stopped caring in the mid 2000s. That's why its happening. Most of their customers don't care that GM stopped caring.

2012-13 was the last year where the conveter was reliable. The introduction of the cooler bypass valve and changed calibrations. Accompanied by the pulse width modulation of the valves. After the converters manufacturing changed and its almost anywhere from 80k-120k that i see most of the transmissions I rebuild. Gm transmission tech.

2019 Silverado 50K . POS 12 time in the shop for transmission. One new put in 6 months back and went in twice for repairs already.

[Rmac]

He’s right. I work at a GM dealership and transmission jobs keep us in business.

The transmission itself is usually fine until the torque converter goes. If you catch the torque converter failing early, most people can save the transmission by just replacing that part with a stronger aftermarket one. Once the torque converter goes the whole transmission eats shrapnel.

I work at a transmission shop. The 6L80/90 is the number 1 transmission we replace for 5 years now. Nissan CVT isn’t far behind though.

[TylerRivera]

I’ve been saying this as a dealer technician and my co workers always argue I’m wrong. Every time I get a transmission job I always notice the miles are around 100k miles though. : )

[TheJustinBurton]

Can confirm. The transmission in my 17’ Yukon left me stranded at 126k, which was actually longer than it was designed to last.

Companies ain’t making money if the cars are reliable.

My transmission guy said the converter comes apart on the newer gmc/chevys and trashes the whole transmission. so I had him order a billet torque converter at 64k miles and now over 100k still shifting great 🤞
