    NV3500 major issues

    Yes it is. It's a 2001 S10 4.3 V6,we just replaced the transmission. We have always had issues with the actuator not working,we've replaced it numerous times and replaced the bracket thing that it sets on cause we noticed that it was bent from hitting a deer. We hear a clicking noise coming from...

    NV3500 major issues

    Well I found a transmission for our truck and we replaced it last weekend. It shifts perfectly. It acts like the actuator is not working right and is brand new. It doesn't always want to go into 4 wheel drive,it went into 4 wheel drive last night but then it got stuck in 4 wheel drive,we had to...

    NV3500 major issues

    I honestly don't know what we're going to do. I don't think my husband believes me that it is the shift fork in the transmission,so he is going to try to flush/clean the transmission or something. It does seem to be only having this problem in spells meaning one minute it's fine and the next...

    NV3500 major issues

    Yes he told me how to do it and it sounds like a pain in the butt and very touchy.He said that there are 2plastic bearing inside the transmission that if they happen to fall out they will shatter and we will be up the creek without a paddle. We have so much money in this already and everything...

    NV3500 major issues

    Talked to a mechanic at a garage today about our truck transmission issues and he said that it is the forks? Inside the transmission,he said there are like plastic tabs on the ends of the forks that wear out. Not sure if we are going to try to rebuild it or just try to find another transmission...

    NV3500 major issues

    I'm not sure when they changed it. Our truck is going into 2nd gear but won't stay when you take off,but you have to shift to 2nd in order to go to 3rd and still no 4wd. Transmissions are a pain in the butt.

    Our repair manual says to use the synchromesh manual transmission fluid/oil and all of the googling I've been reading says the same thing.

    NV3500 major issues

    We use the synchromesh . When it gets hot when your driving it will just not go into 2nd at all and sometimes it will stick. We can pull over and stop for around 5minutes and it will shift fine,even with the engine off you can't shift it if it is hot. I'm not exactly sure what you mean but the...

    NV3500 major issues

    The other mounts look good ,we have never seen any mounts look like these did,usually the rubber parts wear out but these were flattened and bent.. Not exactly sure how it happened.

    NV3500 major issues

    As far as I know ours has never been ran low on oil,our problems didn't start until the rear main seal leaked and got the clutch wet,at least that's what we thought it was,now that we've fixed and replaced all that we're kind of lost. We had only owned our truck for about a little close to two...

    Awesome thanks for all of your advice and help. When I figure it out and get it 100% fixed I will post the solution so maybe it will help others with the same or similar problem. I have googled and this is the most helpful anyone has been.

    NV3500 major issues

    Well we have all of the gears except 2nd after changing the passenger and driver side motor mounts... but while we were on the jacks we had them all,my husband is so upset cause he has worked for days on end and spent money we didn't have,traded his car for the parts (new ones cause the guy...

    NV3500 major issues

    I actually hate to admit this cause it's really dumb,but I think our problem was 2 broken motor mounts that had the transmission in a bind,my husband noticed them awhile ago and once we jacked the motor up and got the transmission out of the bind it shifts perfectly,not sure how it will drive...

    NV3500 major issues

    Our rear main seal started leaking around the same time we changed the slave cylinder and the truck would get stuck in 2nd gear after we'd be driving awhile and it got warm,we'd park awhile and then it would be fine again until it got warm. We just replaced the rear main seal and it no longer...
