do you ever notice that the ones who talk the loudest have the least to talk about?
anyone know the cost to rebuild one of those?

I'm getting a used one through my work for $400 with 11,000 miles on it. I just broke something in mine and will tear it apart once i get the new one up and running, but I think the spider gears or the ring gear of the diff is broke cus i can see the diff gear through the drain plug hole on the tranny and when i move the tires it won't move at all.

2004 should still have warranty, so it should be free to you. You need special tools to get the Getrag's apart, so it's not easy for the DIYer. Talk to you local GM dealer and a few tranny shops for an idea of how much to fix, but it's hard to put a price on without knowing what all needs to be replaced (synchros for sure, maybe a shift for or 2).

Usually the story goes,,, Bent Aluminum Shift Fork = Bye Bye Synchro.

Shift forks don't usually bend... they break.
no warranty left 75000 miles on car

happen to my 2nd gear synchro at about 7000-8000 miles.. fixed under warrenty. they told me its a commen problem and i need to shift softer/slower. lol then they put it down as driver abuse.. ehh. it was covered under warrenty.
i wish i had got the extended warranty!
at the time my parents were cosigning and they said i didnt need it. damn it!
