Well here is my problem.I just installed a reman 4L65 in my wifes 2004 tahoe.I first noticed it had a noise like a planet bearing squealing in drive and reverse.It would go away in park and neutral.
First test drive I went around the shop. It shifted ok 1 ,2 then went up the road 1, 2, 3, 4 , ok OD went also I don't remember when it work last wow what a difference . so I put some miles on it .
Then I wanted to get on it a little . I was not impressed it shifted soft and slow for a HD rebuild with a shift improver.
went out this morning to take it for a test ride before letting the wife have it.
It started to flair up before shifting to 2nd then rev but no 3rd. after about 6 attempts to get 3rd I was pissed and hammered it and it jumped into 3rd but when i let off it fell out of 3rd like it was in neutral. I figured I didn't want to kill it so i parked it . Also reverse feels like its 1/2 way there or slipping.
I am a little upset after spending 1,800.00 and waiting 3 weeks for this think and 8 hrs swapping it out.
I will be calling the rebuilder in the morning to bad there 1,600 miles away. so that will be one week shipping it to them then 3 weeks for them to fix it and a week back . The last one i got from them was great that is why i went back with such a great track record. The wife is not going to like this.
I have worked for a transmission shop . I have installed over 100 transmissions .in the past 25 years
