One thing to make sure. Are you getting a rebuilt transmission or a used transmission? We deal with alot of warranty companies that won't do reman transmissions. I hope your dealing with chevy direct on this. I put a used trans in a tundra and a thousand miles later it came back with another bad trans, warranty company sent another used trans, customer traded it in at blades I think, white tundra with a deer smasher bumper on front.

The transmission is supposed to be some kind of a certified rebuilt unit with something like a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty.


After all this I'm feeling pretty satisfied with my 2003 Tacoma with 285,000 on it and the only thing it has needed was a new battery last year.  I just change the oil.  I guess I can thread jack my own thread by bringing up that I use synthetic Mobile 1 in it.  Obviously no debate to be found about synthetic oil.

It's going through General Motors as a warranty claim. She'll be getting a factory reman trans. SRTA is what they'll call it. Service Replacement Transmission Assembly. GM will not send a used transmission. No manufacturer will. A fly by night aftermarket service contract company will. When you sign up for those extended warranties, one of the clauses you sign for acknowledging is that thEy have the right to utilize used parts. One of the benefits to this is she will have the full warranty on that reman transmission. Coach will probably know what it is, but it's probably something like 5 year 100k miles or 3 years unlimited or something like that. Glad to see gm stepped up to help out.

I've got 200k on my Chevy engine and it's never seen a drop of synthetic. It has seen OCD oil changes every 3-4k miles though.

SRTA, you're right!  Thanks for the information. 

Boy, I got to get my oil changed.  It has been too long.
