24202349 4T40E Automatic Transmission Forward Clutch Low and Reverse Band Lube Pipe

Long Story short car would not go forward but could reverse, “expert”mechanics told me I’d need a new Transmission blah blah blah. Turns out this is a common issue with worn GM transmissions. Installed on 2004 Grand Am. Installation was easy at least for me. They usually fail where the weld meets the bracket due to high pressure. You’ll need to drop the transmission pan mine had 8mm(5/16) Bolts, remove transmission filter and this will be right above the filter. There were Four 8mm bolts holding this on and just reverse the steps and Change transmission fluid, filter and pan gasket while the pan is off. The last ones are optional but it’ll save you time later down the road.
