Two problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 1997 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission slipping again. . . Shift with gas pedal. . . Let off on gas & let rpms drop to allow trans to shift. Dealership told me that they no longer service transmissions, too much hassle - will sell me a new one for $2500 plus labor @ another $900 to $1200. . . Limited to only 6 months of coverage! I know of at least 10 other blazaer and Jimmy owners at fort bliss that have had same tramsmission problems. An investigation should be opened to recall this transmission. I can be reached anytime at 915-593-5144 to further clarify my concerns. . . Cpt burgess.
