Transmission from hell

Transmission from hell
1999 Yukon. First the truck would jerk all over the road when accelerating and de-accelerating. Then my radiator went and ended up with water in the transmission through the cooler. Now my truck still jerks but I only have 1st and 2nd gear. 3rd through overdrive start slipping at around 25 miles an hour. Any advice would be much appreciated.

i would reccommend a complete rebuild, and be sure you tell the shop not to re use any parts, on my 99 silverado a rebuild cost around 1300, also if it chatters and feels like its jerking while taking off from a dead stop and slowing to a stop have the rear end checked, especially if if chatters and jerks during turns ( not wide turn but a normal turn to a sharp turn) alothought if it does that no matter what angle of a turn you are making its really messed up, i ve had 5 trans rebuilds and 4 rearend rebuilds, and when the rear end would grab really good it would stop the trans from spinning then it would shear some gears and trans would go from 0 to whoa!! in no time and shredd the trans, the read ends going out were due to having huge heavy 22 inch rims, when i got rid of them it was the best thing for my truck no problems since but still i may be wrong

I hate to say it,but everyone is right. Your going to need a rebuild. Make sure that they don't do a "patch job" on it. Tell them that you want it completely rebuilt,including a new torque converter. The last chevy transmission that I had rebuilt cost me around $1800 in Alabama,but that also included them pulling and re-installing the tranny. Shop around for the best warranty available. Around here most shops offer a 1 year 12,000 mile warranty,but after I paid to have mine rebuilt I found a company that offered an 18,000 mile warranty.
