Looking for a good transmission mechanic. Someone that specializes in rebuilding transmissions. I have a 1996 Chevy C1500 with a 305. Extended cab, 6' bed. It was making a noise just before I got home the other night that sounded like an exhaust leak, (which it wasn't) and then the next morning I was driving and stopped at a red light shortly after I left my house. I didn't hear the noise that I heard the night before so I put it I neutral and gave it a little gas to see if I could hear the noise. Sounded fine. Light turned green and I put in gear and hit the gas...nothing...just revved up like in neutral. Same thing for all gears and reverse. We were thinking the transmission pump failed but not sure. From what I understand the tranny from this truck is only from 1996 and is not interchangeable with other years. I would also consider replacing rather than rebuild if anyone can source a decent one. What would a rebuild cost? Transmission is already out and ready. I can put the new one in. Just need someone to bench it.
