TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT REAL HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEARS AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR 30 MINUTES. DROVE THIS WAY FOR 3 YEARS. HAD TRANS REBUILT JUNE 2003 AT 68K MILES AND WENT ON ROAD TRIP 900 MILES AND PROBLEMS STARTED WHILE ON MY VACATION TRIP. HAD TO HAVE THE VALVEBODY REPLACED AT THE COST OF $400 WHILE ON VACATION. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS WHY MY TRANSMISSION BURNED UP TIME. BRAKES STARTED WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR A SPONGY / LOW PEDAL AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THERE WAS NOTHING GM WOULD DO ABOUT IT. STILL STUCK WITH SPONGY / LOW PEDAL
TRANSMISSION: I BELIEVE THE PART IS CALLED THE REVERSE DRUM IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SHIFTING FROM 1RST TO 2ND. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 32,700 MILES AND REPLACED BY GM (UNDER WARRANTY) WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM FACTORY PER GM, FOR SAME PROBLEM, SHIFTING AND REVERSE. SINCE CAR MANUFACTURED IN 1997 THIS IS IT'S THIRD TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS LESS THAN 66K MILES ON IT AND IS USED 99% OF THE TIME FOR OPEN ROAD TRIPS ONLY. WHEN I HAD THIS PROBLEM AGAIN I WAS DRIVING ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY (ROAD TRIP). PER REPAIR SHOP MECHANIC: REVERSE DRUM WAS DEFECTIVE, CHEAPLY BUILT AND CONSTRUCTED TO FAIL. ALSO, MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS THE MECHANIC'S 16TH CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON CHEVROLET VEHICLES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD...
