I have found that there are about as many excuses for the vibrations my pickup has as there are Chevy pickups on the road. Don't most of us want to blame the torque converter? Isn't that probably the number one reason? When the transmission shutters it sounds like you are driving on the edge of the road with those cut in rumble strips. I believe this is the 6 speed. So, should I put in a new torque convertor, maybe a heavy duty one or should I buy a complete rebuilt transmission? Sounds like the torque converters cost around $200 and then add another $800 to $1000 for installation. A rebuilt transmission with a torque converter can run between $2700 and $4000 or more plus a minimum of another $1000 - $1500 to install. A large Chevrolet dealer told me $6500 for a complete transmission job with a rebuilt transmission. The advantage of a complete transmission is that the labor isn't much more than for just the torque converter. With 150,000 miles on the pickup would I be ahead to go with the rebuilt transmission or will my original transmission go a lot more miles? I did pull the pan last week and change out some of the tranmission oil. The magnet had a pretty good chunk of metal paste on it. No fines or metal chunks. Oil was dirty. Changing probably under 1/2 of the transmission oil didn't help the shutter any. I plan to drain and fill again. What about the No More Shutter product in the little tube. Can that help? Guy at the NAPA store says he has seen results. Some how it changes how the clutch in the torque converter can grip. I guess for $10 a tube what can you lose. Ideas appreciated.
