Transmission Replacement in GMC

Jasper isn't as good as they once were. If you don't have a reputable transmission shop to use, I would buy one from gm and have your mechanic install.
It will have a nation wide warranty

Pretty terrible it has to be replaced at 130k. Japanese vehicles just keep on going

6 speed transmission?

If so it's the shitty torque converter that gm used. Just had to replace the one in my wife's Tahoe 2 weeks ago at 100000 miles. Had to replace the one in my truck a few years ago at 87000 miles.

I went with a local shop and had them rebuilt and they used a heavier duty torque converter, I forget the brand off the top of my head.

I've since put a 100000 miles on my truck with no issues. FYI cost was $4000 two weeks ago.

Oof. Had to replace the transmission in my wife's Traverse a couple years ago. Didn't make it 2 months before something new transmission related broke on it (can't remember what, but it was still under warranty).

I still have a local AAMCO and the guy that runs it is a transmission expert and he told me it was kinda hit or miss with those Jasper rebuilds. I guess I got a miss in mine because it was nothing but a headache.

For the rebuild and all the labor?

All GM trucks/tahoes will have transmission issues. The last 2 I've had (2015 & 2018) both had transmissions go out around the 100k mile mark.

Replaced under warranty, for the second time, at 90,000 miles. First was under 50,000. Didn't keep it much longer to have to drop a 3rd in it.

Almost everyone that owns a GMC or Chevy has something going on with tranny's.

Can't compare a transmission on a truck to one on a car bro.................................

My coworker just had her Chevy transmission replaced at 130k. She apparently got quite a good deal and got it done in about 2 weeks.
