2018 Expy Mainenance and Repair

[lefty hack]

It's been a long road to get the dealer to finally rebuild my transmission. All the normal out of neutral and loud bangs starting at about 50000 miles. Im at 96000 with an extended warranty that ends at 10000. The help of this forum was great and really had great info for me to get it done. I've had it in multiple times over about 3 yrs. They could never duplicate the issue. I set up a meeting with the Forman and a different service advisor after a wheel bearing job where they failed to replace the tie rod nut (WTF). They came up with the idea to "pressure test" my transmission as they do with the 2020 and later models. For some reason they don't include the 2018 and 2019 when recommending this test. Guess what.... 1 stage into it, as it was described to me, it failed. Rebuild authorized. Thank forum geniuses. Should I sell now?

Why sell? After being rebuilt with all the newly resigned parts, it should be good for at least another 50k miles.

yeah I was half joking. I'm at the point with this one that im always thinking what's going to fail next.

re finding a good indie transmission shop, do be sure they are familiar and have been trained on and worked on 10R80's, its a rather different beast than the old 4-speed slushboxes.
