I had a rebuilt transmission put on the Tahoe in May, 2104 by the local Chevy dealership. Have 89,000 miles and 8 months or so left on the warranty. Don't drive the vehicle much...at all. 11 thousand miles since May, 2014. I now know I need to drive it more... Noticed fluid leaking from in front of the u joint. Dealer says there is a hole in the yoke and wants $450 to replace it. "It's not a part of the transmission..." I've read online that there is a weep hole for pressure relief. Also there is a shaft seal that can get nicked and allow fluid to leak. The transmission fluid HAS to be coming from the transmission. Is the dealer telling me the truth that a "hole in the yoke" is responsible for the leak. Are they trying to rip me off or am I being unreasonable?
Thanks,
