[QUOTE="GSM, post: 264693, member: 852"] I have a 2000 Yukon XL 4x4 5.3L that now has 72,000 original miles. I bought it about 3 years ago and it had about 45,000 miles. It was a Sunday driver for an older couple so minimal wear and tear. I was pulling my camper home Sunday and my transmission fluid temp high light flashed on. I was only about 2 mile from home so i limped home. After that i noticed it had a long shift from first to second. it goes to 4.5-5 RPM before shifting and takes about 2 seconds for the shift. Every other gear shifts just fine as it had. Took it to my mechanic who i trust and they dropped the trans pan, cleaned, changed fluid and filters, etc. The magnet in the pan had very minimal metal, but did have some. I was told the biggest was like roughly the size of a 1/4 of a grain of rice. That did not fix the problem and they have advised my transmission is on the way out :mad:!! Any other thoughts? i did some googling and kept finding something about shift solenoids or shift servos??? Given the vintage of the vehicle i am having a tough time trying to justify a new transmission, but the vehicle is in immaculate shape. The interior is like brand new and the body only has 1 small cancer spot on the rear fender that all GM vehicles of that era get. [/QUOTE]
