2000 Chevy Astro. 105,000 miles.
Off and on (almost always now) if you put your foot all the way into the accelerator the engine drops to idle. You can go up to about 1/4 pedal no problem, shifts no problem, and with not much patience you can get it up to 65/70 and it's running through all the gears.
Thing is that even fully stopped, in neutral OR park, it does the same thing. Put your foot all the way to the floor and it drops back to idle.
So my wife dropped it off someplace to get a free diagnostic. They tell her that it is pushing out codes about the transmission and that she needs an entire new tranny to the tune of $2300. Says it is the "Transmission Slipping Code"
I just find this hard to believe because of how it behaves in neutral and park.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm going to take it down to Twilight Zone and get the codes read for myself just for my peace of mind. But any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
