NV4500 weird issues, dealer awefull..

Hello gents,

Love my CTD. But, after having some grinding noise in 5Th, I decided to cash in on that aftermarket warranty I bought. The dealer took the transmission apart (actually showed it to me) and found that my 5th gear nut had already been done, but that the noise was the bearings were worn with 165,000 miles on all original. So, he went ahead and removed the 5th gear nut and replaced with the same NEW 5th gear nut, rplaced bearings and he was done. The cost to me was $100 bucks for deductable. GREAT!! Like new trans.....I was excited!!

here in lies the problem, after a 200 mile trip 4 days after rebuild, the tranny sticks in 5TH! Had to be towed off the hway....Anyway, dealer gets it a couple of days later after the weekend and says, "seems to be working fine now". I told him I wasn't taking possesion of that truck until that issue is resolved. What the heck happened to my newly rebuilt trans? Any ideas?

symptoms were: absolutely no way to physically move the gear shift out of 5th. The clutch was indeed disengaging the trans from the engine when depressed.....but still wouldn't let the 5th gear go.....

HELP!!

TJ
