My 1991 GMC K2500 with a 4L80E tranny broke a cooler line last weak and I had it towed to the transmission shop. I told the guy that it had other issues and was due to be looked at anyway. The main problem is that when I pull my trailer it blows a fine mist of oil all over the place, doesn't seem to matter if its hot or cold. He said that was caused by the pump "bypassing" and could not be fixed without doing a complete rebuild. I told him it had to be reliable come spring because I use it a lot and authorized the rebuild at an est. price of $1800.00. After a weak and 2 days He said it was done. Go to pick it up and all they did was fix the line and put oil in it(I could have done that myself). Then he explained that since it still works O.K. that a rebuild would be a waste of money at this time and to just drive it and keep an eye on the oil level. Is He right or should I find a new transmission guy? Even if the blow by oil won't hurt anything it is still an annoying mess. Plus, since it is not fixed am I going to break down with my trailer this summer while 2 states away and really be screwed on towing?
