What is dismantled to pull the transmission?

[RMinNJ]

Dealer is fixing my automatic transmission leak...they have to pull the transmission.

What can I expect in the way of car damage? Do they have to take front bumper off? Subframe I assume..
Is an alignment needed after?

Expect? NONE... they damage it they repair it. Don't drive it unless you look it over top to bottom, and don't drive off the lot until you are sure it shifts and runs correctly (drive around the lot with a tech, or hell, ride along!)

Your tranny has the CV joints to remove, some electrical connections, bracing, etc.. don't think bumper comes off, MIGHT come out the bottom... don't really know.

They would support the motor from the top and pull the trans from below. Alot of transverse cars go that way.[emoji41]

Thanks..I got the car back... I don't see any damage or signs they of their work..except the transmission outside is cleaned up and there seems a new gasket on he front or it. I will keep an eye on it to see if it leaks on the bottom.

Kind Chevy, Cecil,

Thanks...but I had sent pictures to you guys of the leak and you stood by the opinion of the first dealer which said it was supposed to leak. I'm hoping this second dealer knows what they are doing but still very disappointed in GM/Chevy.
