Ok, so about 3 months ago i had a really bad mechanic fix a couple of minor leaks. That soon became a $2k mess and he is claiming my cam shaft has gone to fritz. Although he is a mechanic I find it hard to believe that in the course of one week to fix a leak the cam would magically break. I think it may be more of a tranny problem. When I try to accelerate I just over rev and when it does catch it shift late. It is a 1994 v6 3.4L with an 460Le tranny. Thanks

 

The more I look into tranny and cam failure it gets more confusing cause they both suffer from the same things. I guess the real question is do i go and do what the one mechanic said or get a 2nd opinion from the chevy dealership mechanics.

 

The cam and transmission have nothing to do with each other. If the engine revs and the car does not respond, the transmission is slipping. Find yourself a good mechanic.

 

Ok off to the official GM dealership it goes. Thanks.

 

Slap the other guy to while your at it.

 

shortly after he got fired lol

 

are you crazy don't take it to a GM dealership to fix your transmission LOL i remember i had to get my keys done because i lost them at a club and i paid 250$ because they had to figure out the code for the chip on the key plus labor is like 100$/hour

 

This is true but one of my uncles is a mechanic for gm so.... Discounts

 

and the price may be higher but atleast they knwo what they are doing. better than going to a small shop and getting screwed again

 

Why don't you "Brown-Nose" your uncle and have him do it on the side for family?
