“1994 c1500 pickup truck. Transmission went out which made the engine throw a rod. Bought remanufactured GM transmission and a rebuilt engine. 2 year warranty ended may 08-had less than 12,000 miles on new transmission. It went out 2 months after warranty. Transmission company is now rebuilding the new transmission. Torque converter fell apart. Paid 2300.00 first time, now have to pay 1400.00 more, plus 200.00 towing fee. This time it will only be good for one year/12,000 miles. Sounds like GM needs to make a recall on transmissions.”
