I had a local trans shop put a rebuilt trans in our 2006 Pontiac Montana minivan.

It was the 4T60E transmission (larger than 4T45E in the HHR).

The complete job was $1600.

$3000 is way too much for an HHR trans. Before I replaced one myself in one of my HHRs, the same trans shop quoted me $1450 for a rebuilt trans in the HHR.

Yeah, I understand the cost is completely ridiculous, but unfortunately I live in California. Ventura county California. Everything is over priced and ridiculous out here.

 

If your near hellshotrod, he most likely has a good used replacement transmission.
send him a PM

It would be a good idea to shop around. Maybe you already have.

 

My momma told me, better shop around!

 

My momma said you can't hurry love...

 

Momma told me not to come.
She said that ain't the way that it's done

 

And now back to our regularly scheduled transmission problems.

 

Hi. So, long story short, I got my 2007 HHR LT with 80,000 miles on it about 2 months ago, a couple days after I got it, I noticed the tranny was slipping, So I took it to Aamco, and they did a full rebuild, and all has been well. Yesterday, I drove it about 60 miles on the freeway, and while I was getting off the freeway (It was a green light) when I went to accelerate after making the turn, it didn't immediately catch into gear and the engine just revved. The problem corrected itself after about 2 seconds, and it didn't happen again for the rest of my drive / the drive home. Now, is it possible that this was caused by something other than the transmission? Or should I take it back into Aamco and say what the hell? Thank you for the help!

 

Take it back.
