Expert Chevy & GM transmission repair in South Florida

GM automatics are some of the most common transmissions on the road — and some of the ones we know best. From Silverados and Tahoes to Camaros, Corvettes, G-bodies and classic C10s, three generations of our family have torn down, rebuilt and upgraded GM transmissions. When one comes in, we usually know where to look first.

The 4L60E and 4L65E, found in countless half-ton trucks, SUVs and Camaros, are known for failures like a worn 3-4 clutch pack, a broken reaction sun shell, and 2-4 band wear — often showing up as a lost gear or no reverse. The 4L70E is a stronger evolution, and the heavy-duty 4L80E lives behind big engines and three-quarter-ton trucks. We rebuild them with the known weak points upgraded, not just replaced with the same parts that failed.

The newer six- and eight-speed units take more diagnosis. The 6L80 and 6L90 commonly come in with torque-converter shudder, harsh shifts, or control-module and valve-body faults. The 8L90 in late-model trucks, Camaros and Corvettes is known for shudder complaints that can be tied to fluid as well as hardware — so the right fix starts with the right diagnosis, not a guess.

And then there are the classics. The TH350 and TH400 three-speeds, the 700R4 and the 200-4R overdrives are staples of hot rods, muscle cars and swaps, and we build them for everything from cruisers to big-power street cars. We sell rebuilt GM units in our rebuilt transmission catalog and ship them nationwide.

Signs your Chevy or GM transmission needs attention

If your vehicle is showing any of these, bring it in for a free diagnosis before a small problem becomes a big one:

Lost Third or Fourth Gear

On a 4L60E, losing a gear or flaring between 3rd and 4th often points to a burnt 3-4 clutch pack.

No Reverse

A sudden loss of reverse, or of 1st and reverse, is a classic 4L60E internal failure. Stop driving and get it checked.

Shudder at Cruise

A shudder at steady speed on a 6L80 or 8L90 can be the torque converter or fluid-related — it needs proper diagnosis.

Harsh or Delayed Engagement

A hard clunk into drive or a delay before it engages points to pressure, valve-body or solenoid problems.

Slipping Under Load

Slipping while towing or accelerating hard usually means worn clutches or low line pressure.

Classic Shift Problems

Late, soft or no upshifts on a 700R4 or 200-4R often trace back to TV-cable adjustment or internal wear.

Answers
Chevy & GM Transmission Repair FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does Chevy transmission repair cost?
It depends on the truck or car, which GM transmission it has, and what’s actually wrong. We diagnose it free and give you an exact written estimate before any work begins. Call (954) 535-9393.
Why does my 4L60E keep losing gears?
The 4L60E has a few well-known failure points, including the 3-4 clutch pack, the reaction sun shell, and the 2-4 band. A proper rebuild upgrades those parts instead of reusing the same design that failed, which is why our rebuilds hold up.
What causes 8L90 or 6L80 shudder?
Shudder in these transmissions is often related to the torque-converter clutch and, on some vehicles, the fluid. Some cases are solved with the correct fluid service; others need converter or internal work. We diagnose it first so you don’t pay for the wrong fix.
Do you rebuild TH350, TH400 and 700R4 transmissions?
Yes. We rebuild the TH350, TH400, 700R4 and 200-4R for classics, muscle cars and swaps, and we sell rebuilt units. For high-horsepower builds, see our performance builds.
Can you ship a rebuilt GM transmission?
Yes. We sell rebuilt GM transmissions including the 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 6L80, 6L90, 8L90, TH350, TH400, 700R4 and 200-4R, and ship nationwide. See the rebuilt units and call to confirm fitment by VIN.
Do you work on Silverado and Sierra HD trucks?
Yes. We work on GM half-ton and heavy-duty trucks and SUVs. Call with your VIN and we’ll confirm which transmission you have and the best way to fix it.
