3800 Tranny Problems.....

[Bliss Racing]

Ok, so i don't think my tranny is slipping, wondering if it's the shift solonoid....or something like that??

When i take off hard, it's just fine....but from a roll, if i floor it....it doesn't seem like it down shifts all the way, and it gets caught between gears and bounces off of the limiter?!?!? I don't know what the hell is going on.

Kinda sounds like whatever gear its kicking down to after flooring it has a worn clutch...prolly time for a rebuild. LPSPEED2 is your man for that.

 

[LPSPEED2]

No cost to look, a smile is appreciated though.

Damnit, it says you're from addison....why can't your shop be there.....i am in addison all the time......my fiance lives there!!

 

[LPSPEED2]

who is your fiance?

 

[gtphale]

Hey Leo i'm looking to get my hands on a used Intense full blown tranny. What do you guys charge for a refreshing? I'm worried that some of the shavings from the diff might be roaming around in there and would like to have some work done to it. Not sure what all would needed to be replaced. Trans is in good working shape now just want to be safe. You can post up here or PM me. Either way. If you want I can give you a call also.

 

[LPSPEED2]

Best thing to do would be to come in and talk it over with the big guy (actually quite small). There are many variables to go over, and hard to completely understand what needs to be done over the phone or net. Give me a call when you find a crack in your work schedule.

Tiffany Chaddick, her sister. You probably Graduated with her.

 

[xierxior]

is it normal for the tranny to slip just a little bit when it enters 4th gear when you're at 55 percent throttle or so?

I'd say any slipping is not normal....when the tranny is slipping, is the tranny temp over 200 degrees??

I don't have a trans temp gauge?

 

[LPSPEED2]

It may not be slippage, it may just be slow shifting. The only way you really know its slippage (unless its really bad) is to see if there is much lag when you are further along on the throttle. Basically floor it, and see if there is slippage then, if not then its probably just a slow shift due to not much throttle positioning.

 

[gtphale]

I'll try to get over there this weekend If I get a chance.
