Anyone know if these Sharjah gearbox places actually know their way around a Cadillac or am I dreaming?
My 2016 Escalade has been giving me the cold shoulder lately and by that I mean the 8L90 transmission has started doing this delightful thing where it shudders like a washing machine full of bricks when cruising at highway speeds in eighth gear and from everything I've read online it's either a simple triple flush with the updated Mobil fluid or the torque converter is slowly eating itself and I'm looking at a five figure repair bill, and the dealer in Dubai quoted me something that made me consider just driving the car into the desert and walking away. I've been poking around looking for alternatives and stumbled on this website https://gearboxrepairsharjah.ae/brands/cadillac/ which honestly surprised me because I didn't think anyone around here specialized in American transmissions let alone Cadillacs, and now I'm sitting here wondering if this place is legit or if it's just one of those catch all websites that lists every brand under the sun to get clicks while the actual workshop is just a general mechanic who's never cracked open an 8L90 in his life. The thing with these GM transmissions is they have very specific issues like the torque converter clutch shudder and the valve body wear that requires someone who really understands the fluid specs and the updated programming, not just a guy who can swap a transmission and call it a day, so I'm hoping someone in the Sharjah area has actually taken their American land yacht to these guys and can tell me if they're the real deal or if I should just keep driving with the shudder and pretend it's a feature of the magnetic ride control.
