Hey guys, I am going to be needing a new/rebuilt transmission and was wondering if anyone had any input as to where to get a new unit.
I just had the transmission out this past weekend to replace the input bearing as I thought that was the cause of my problems, however upon removal I found the input shaft had about a half inch of endplay and has a grinding noise when turning by hand.
However, this all leads to my problem. My transmission is still working for now it just makes a terrible noise. Everyone local does not rebuild them and not many people offer them remanufactured.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any dealers that offer a good price/warranty on a rebuilt unit as I prefer not buy a used one and test my luck.
My pickup will be getting a slightly built 5.3 in a few months and I know my current trans will not hold up to it. And I know everyone will say to swap to a nv4500 but I like the drivability of the 3500 and don't use it for anything but my daily driver.
Thanks
