“Transmission began shifting hard in march 2012 (69998 miles on vehicle). Progressed to, slipping when starting to move from stop, and would catch abruptly causing a lurch forward. I had the trouble codes read, found po-1811 stored in vehicle computer. Contacted chevy dealer, and was told transmission was bad. The dealer strongly suggested a new transmission over repair/rebuild, estimates ranged from $2700.00 to repair, or $3000.00 to rebuild, and $3400.00 for new. Also, was told the old transmission would be kept by GM as a core even when buying a new transmission. …”
