Description of the problem | We have a 1999 chevy astro van. We had a factory re-manufactured transmission which was supplied by guaranty chevrolet on 8-30-02, installed. The van had 67,532 miles.

Mark dowler of chevy called me and said sorry, we won't help you. We are going to small claims court if need be. Thank you. *jb |
