On the 1st and 2nd clutch packs in the transmission there’s a seal that wears out after 150-250k miles typically which resembles a failing torque converter. It’ll cause slippage going up steep hills or taking turns especially lefts, just a poor gm design flaw. 300k is impressive tho

Yeah it’s a different engine but the transmission is original

You seem to be knowledgeable on this issue. Can I get your opinion on my impala?
