Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find. Free estimate to your email.
The mechanic who told you your Silverado needed a transmission kit knocked it out of the park with his work estimate.
From everything you have said — jerking into gear, slipping out of gear, working overtime (likely over-revving) — it sounds like the clutches and bands are shot and it is likely that the torque converter isn’t setting up the proper flow of transmission fluid so the device works correctly, at the same time. And, it is quite likely that the gears are also having problems as well.
What this all means is that your Silverado’s transmission should be replaced. You might try to find a replacement unit from a salvage yard, but you have to be careful to make sure that it is working correctly before you put down any money to purchase it. If you do find a good, used unit grab it as it will save you substantially over the $3,000 you will spend for a rebuilt transmission. You might save as much as $1,500.
Oh, the second opinion about the thermostat, it isn’t very accurate, at all.
