I blew one on my 01' Tahoe. Sun gear is a weak point on those trannies.

Call around to tranny shops, you should be able to find a pre rebuilt unit sitting on a shelf.

They'll just swap it in and use yours as a core.

They'll also upgrade the weak points when they do the rebuild so it should last longer than the original.

FWIW, I bought the 01' off the lot brand new and that is the only major repair I've had in 18 years so the $1,300.00 it cost for the rebuild was money well spent.

I've more than gotten my moneys worth out of it.

I like them so much I also have an 06' and a 16'
