Hello everyone, I am needing some feedback from those that understand trucks more than I. My truck 06 Silverado hard shifted 1 - 3 gears. Finally it just quit shifting one day completely after warming up. I took it to a transmission shop about a year after it stopped working. I did not drive it during that time. I explained hard shifting and then would drive for about 30 min or so until it warmed up then it would stop shifting at all. It would cool down and then you could repeat. I asked for a rebuild. Just so I could get it up and running.
My engine needed a tune up and with over 330,000 miles eventually a rebuild on it also. But that can wait until the next year.
So as soon as I get the truck back its still hard shifting not as bad but I feel it, hear it, and see it (RPM reve up). Then my son puts truck in reverse it wont go. So take it to the shop he says you have to get the knox sensor fixed its because of that and the tune up. I already changed knox sensors and wires a year prior. Im also not stupid in that the engine did not cause all of that to happen to the transmission. But ok fair enough I give a tune up and change out knox sensors and wires again. Guess what still happening and now reverse has went out twice on me. My daughter was just driving it to school and work about 15 miles round trip 5 days a week. Well the otherday it completly stopped shifting on my son 10 min from home.
I called mechanic last week. Front desk person said they are really busy with customers. Will call me back and 5 hours later i called her back. She then said shed have mechanic call me back. Well it is now 5 days later and no call back. So am I crazy or is the engine causing my truck to not go into reverse and then stop shifting? I mean it just reves up RPM and goes no where. I paid 3500.00 and I feel helpless right now. What can I do?
P.S. Job was just done 02/22
