Default 2003 bad transmission help needed

I have a 2003 Corvette with an automatic transmission and I live in the Los Angeles area. The car has 22,000 miles on it and I have been turned down for assistance by General Motors. Does anyone one have any ideas to help me out. The new transmission costs about $3,500 from Rydell Chevrolet in Van Nuys, CA.

When you have those nice smooth shifts, so as not to spill your coffee,
what's happening are your clutches slipping. (Smooth shift...wear out clutch pack)
.
Put a shift kit (Transgo) in her & feel her "Rock your World", when you go thru her gears.

I work for a national Transmission company. We would be around $2300 for a rebuilt tranny with a warranty. You might want to try another shop out there to see what they can do for you. Good luck.
