it cost 1500 dollars to replace my tranny at the local tranny shop
It will take and experience mechanic six hours to replace your 1996 Chevy truck flywheel. A novice mechanic will take several more hours.
Sometimes if you take your serial number from your truck into a GM or Chevy dealership they can make you a new key for your truck. It might cost a little but it is cheaper than changing your key barrels.
a lot of work. the transmission has to be removed.
The transmission for the 1996 Chevy 3500 could be jumping from overdrive for several reasons. The transmission could have a vacuum or electrical problem causing it to come out of overdrive. Or, there could be an internal valve problem causing this to happen.
that all depends on what is wrong with it
You need to replace the speed sensor on the rear of the transmission.
Yes
All of the shift linkage should be internal. You will have to remove transmission, split the transmission in two to access the linkage.
That would be a 4L60E.
do you have TBI ?
9 to 13 PSI.
The filter is up in the bottom of the transmission. You will have to take the transmission pan off of the bottom of the transmission to get to it.
That would be a 4L60E transmission.
It is in the oil pan.
The fork replacement could depend on which manual transmission is in the truck. The top has to be removed from the transmission. If the floor center can be removed with enough room to get the top off then it can be done. With carpet and seat removal it is often easier to remove the transmission.
