Consumer Description

DON'T HAVE MY VIN HANDY AT THE MOMENT B/C MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP HAVING $1400 OF TRANSMISSION WORK DONE ON IT. IT'S A 1998 GMC SIERRA 2WD, AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT 8/21/03. THE TRANNY HAD 84,000 MILES BEFORE COMLETE FAILURE. THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN BY AN EXCEPTIONALLY GENTLE DRIVER, NEVER USED FOR TOWING (EVEN THOUGH IT CAME WITH A TOWING "PACKAGE") AND NEVER ABUSED IN ANY WAY. YESTERDAY, IT WOULDN'T REVERSE OR GO INTO 1ST GEAR. TWO WEEKS PRIOR IT BEGAN SHIFTING HARD, EMITTING A LOUD "CLANK" SOUND...WE KNEW THE END WAS NEAR!
