I have a 1999 chevy surburban and for the last 3 years I had to rebuild my transmission at least 4 times. Every time it starts with my first through 3rd gear barely shifting after coming to a dead stop. I would have to press on the accelerator till I reached 2000 rpm then let off the accelerator then press on it slowly and then the gears would catch. My reverse is the same thing. I replaced the transmission several times thinking it may be the service company so I took it to another shop and again I'm having the same problem. It's like clock work, around every 6 to 8 months I am replacing a transmission and before the transmission goes out I would smell a burning scent.
