Unghhh.....I didn't expect or still hope not to, have this issue come up so soon...
I have a 2001 Tahoe LT 5.3 with about 102,000 miles on it...
Just had the tranny fluid changed, along with the filter and the egr valve and water pump, and also had a new a/c belt put in....
Just started noticing the tranny shift a bit hard whenever moving from a dead stop and also once in a while sort of vibrating when coming to a stop....
ANY OTHER REASONS BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION THAT COULD CAUSE THIS?
I understand that I am young and somewhat inexperienced about cars so that is why I am seeking advice from you guys before I take it to a shop and have them deliberately rip me off....so if you have any info that could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it...
By the way....I already checked the fluid level and it was red and didn't smell quite burnt...it also was slightly above the HOT reading and I checked it while in Park and after I had driven it for about 20 minutes...did I do anything wrong by checking it like this?
I am just trying to figure out how to go about this issue...and is a tranny rebuild or change happen UNTIL the current one gives out, or are they able to tell if there is a problem before?
