Everything only started breaking after 200, 000 miles. I bought my 2004 Axiom (2WD) when it had about 40K. But, if you are not the original owner, you are up a creek with no paddle. It looks like you're new here. $2700 dollars later......

Average Cost to Fix: My mechanic wants to change the whole gear system. I park it again and it does the same thing except, this time I take it to a transmission shop. Is it time to move on? Go to an independent trans shop with a good reputation and ask if they know anything about the trans in your Isuzu. It may be that the stock, radiator trans cooler is too small or restrictive, because once it starts getting hot the trans will fail. Unless the repair of your 'seeping' oil pan includes a complete trans service with filter and fluid, you should get out of that shop and never go back. N/A Look for mom and pop shops that work on transmissions. You cannot replace its features in another car for the same price as your Isuzu. The bottom line, to me, is that the trans needs special attention from all us long term Axiom owners. The complaints are organized into groups with data published by vehicle, vehicle component, and specific problem. It was 49 bucks to have the fluid changed, not bad considering about 6 quarts of fluid alone is about 5 bucks a quart or more. then start the car, and go through each gear for 5 seconds then back to park, with the motor running, open the fill hole again and keep adding fluid till it starts coming out the fill hole and before the fluid gets too warm then cap it up and shut off the motor. Of course, as Murphy's Law clearly states, neither shop could locate any problem. I have a totally dry undercarriage, not a leak or seep on anything in my drive drain on my vehicle.
We bought an Axiom XS about 7 months ago, and luckily, or because they knew something was up, the dealer included a drive train warranty. Any suggestions? It has been back to the transmission shop, kept for another week, and they can find nothing wrong. The worst complaints are low fluid causes noise, transmission slipping.
good luck with it. Dropped it to third nothing second gear can go 40 mph first gear 20 mph (live in PA) took it to our friend who has a shop but after filling with two quarts of wolfs head aft (major pain) and going thru gears like it says took for test drive still the same calling gm on Monday seeing hows it's a gm tranny n a isuzu dealer is like 60 miles a way on highway don't wanna drive it 40 in 65 lol.
Never Overpay. 2500.00 each time. Again, none of this happens if I take it easy and ease my way up to speed. The cars are great cars. Mine would do that - I didn't drive it hard but after driving for long distance awhile it was like it got hot or something and didn't want to shift.

I take it back home and 4-5 days later the check transmission light is blinking again.
I plan on putting a larger, heavy duty cooler on the car IN FRONT of the radiator, and recommend that everyone add auxiliary coolers, or eliminate the stock cooler altogether. He recommends hanging the solenoid switch and gaskets, I got that done and the very next day( drove car about 35 miles), that darn light is back on and shifting hard again.
Shift slips... No way for me to know what's wrong from your message. We found a really good mechanic in Mike at North American trans, in Richmond. $200 for a complete service, which would include the replacement of the pan gasket, is in the ballpark for a complete service, but way too much for just a gasket replacement. Mike's done a lot of BMW replacements of this same trans and they all look like mine did after they fail.
WEIRD The prices I got were $3200,$2700, and $2300.
CarComplaints.com : Car complaints, car problems and defect information Latest News The dealers and warranty companies(like Premier) will only install the remanufactured units. It is a GM tranny , nothing wrong with an ac delco filter kit. Worried. A reputable shop will charge between 4 and 5 thousand to install a "remanufactured", guaranteed unit. sounds too complex. Asked by Risse Jun 03, 2010 at 02:03 AM about the Isuzu Axiom Question type: Maintenance & Repair My transmission is slipping in 3rd gear and when I go over a bump, the transmission and cruise control lights come one and it threatens to shut off.
