How does this happen? Is it from lack of maintenance, excessive offroading exertion, or is it really just a crap GM tranny? These types of things scare me.

1) Crappy GM tranny
2) Overheating the oil/Torque Converter - highly recommend a supplemental tranny cooler
3) The shift solenoids go bad, there are 2, high and low (1/2 gears, 3/4 gears)
4) Get regular flushes, and change filter once a year.
Maintenance isnt hard to do, and the filter can be done yourself in the garage.
Above all, these are the worst trannies GM ever made.

I would get one if its worth money and time and all that.Originally Posted by Locomigo
Sorry to hear that about your VX hope you will fix it somehow and get back on roads.
P.S this year a lot of VX`s getting into some problems that cost a lot of money.

I have heard that above all else, heat kills trannys, per the guy at the transmission shop I go to. So get an additional aftermarket transmission oil cooler.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
