So this past Sunday, my dad and I were heading to Tanger oulet area to meet my wife, daughter, and my mom for lunch. We had just come from the gun and knife show up in the north area. Turn down Center Point dr. and get close to the walmart traffic light and all of a sudden this loud whinning noise comes from underneath my Z71 and it ended with a CLUNCK RAT A TAT TAT. Great! Wtf! Put it in park at the light and then shift back into drive, mash the gas, and again....loud whinni g noise followed with a clunck! Seriously! So now by this time I think my tranny is half way falling out from under my truck. Ended up costing into a parking spot, put it back in Park and tried to put it back into Drive. Ya, that didn't happen. Tranny's shot! Ended up eating lunch and then waiting 3 hrs for a tow! What a great way to end a good weekend (sarcasm) Boy I tell ya!!! So waiting on Pat's Transmission in Ravenel to call me to tell me thw $$ damage.

Screw that! Used trannys don't come with warranties! ! Plus, Pat does great work, and if anything ever happens on down the road (warranty or not) he'd take care of it! I highly recommend his work!
