07 Impala 3.5L the transmission is starting slam into gear on 1st and 2nd other then that is running fine.

1, have it rebuilt $1800-2000

2, buy new or rebuilt $2000-2500

Those prices are out the door for me

3. buy used with a 12,000 mi waranty w/carfax for $700 and install myself.

Now the book I have replaces the transmission in about 1/2 of a page How hard of a job is this? I am a fairly handy guy with tools

You'll need an engine cradle to hold the engine in place when you remove the subframe. You will then need a really long extension to get at the trans bolt on the back side of the engine/trans. Other than that there not that bad to do.

Whoa!! Slow Down. I had the same problem with a Pontiac and I took it to AAMCO transmission. They found something that affected the shifting in those 2 gears. They replaced the part for $350 and no more problems. Sorry I can't be more specific but I sold the car (I drove it 2 more years)and the repair tickets went with it. Be sure to get it checked out before spending money you may not have to.

Interesting, I stopped by 2 differnt shops and never herd one of the mention anything outside of rebuild/replacement. Other then one guy said it could be the motor mounts being bad. The mounts seem to be fine though.

Airjer, If it comes to replaceing the transmition would I have to get a gasket kit or could I reuse the current gasket's or would a liquid gasket be an option?

Gasket kit for what?

If you get a used trans you will need to put in a filter kit that will come with a pan gasket. If the pan gasket is rubber and steele it is reusable.

A reman will be a bolt and go.

Could that car have a transmission control module going bad?

I am looking into this as it seems to be a off and on issue. I was explaining this to the place I was going to order the transmission from and he said it didn't sound like a bad transmission. He was pointing trards a shift cable or that modual. As I get time I will have to bring it in and have it diagnosed.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
