The transmission needs to be rebuilt.

Vehicle was taken to a transmission shop for jerking between 10-20mph... I was told that the transmission had internal problems and it was common for the chevrolet trucks from 1996-2001 i have found well over 50 complaints of transmission failure on the internet in a matter of hours. I feel this is a serious problem that general motors needs to address.*ak
