tranny help/opinions please

[Mikey P]

As you know two months ago I had the V's transmission rebuilt.

Got a good deal but when we got to our first job we quickly found out that someone did not reconnect a hose to the PTO so we had tranny fluid shooting all over.
Rebuild company payed to tow it back and fix.

Every thing ran fine until last week when it started to not want to go into reverse for a second or so before engaging. Two day of that, hit or miss and all of a sudden when in Drive it wont shift pass 1800 RPMS, so basically it wont go pass 2nd gear.

Still goes into reverse, and can be shifted into 1st, 2nd and Drive.

So back to the rebuild company it goes where they cant find any thing externally wrong like a blown shift solenoid so they opened up the tranny again yesterday and..


Nothing visibly wrong other than burnt fluid. :!: :?:


What do you think?

 

[joe harper]

I think..."you should AuToGrApH it"....and SELL THE BiTcH... :idea:

 

[Bob Foster]

Sure Harp....... rub it in.......

 

[Bob Foster]

I think it could be the pump or something in the pump screen. They have to drop the pan anyway.

That's a bitch Mike.... I think Harp is probably right.

 

[Mike Draper]

I think a good transmission shop should know everything there is to know about them. They should be able to tell you what is going on and fix it. If they don't know, I think they are not that great of a shop.

 

[FredC]

speed sensor...or other electrical/sensor issue?

 

[renegade_cowboy]

speed sensor...or other electrical/sensor issue?

I agree with Fred, that would be the perfect place to start. I had the same issue in a car I owned... the tranny had two speed sensors, ending up having to replace both... fixed the problem. Might also want to have them check the electronics going to the speed sensors. ECM I think it was called in my car, not sure if that translate to what you got.

Jeez.....and I thought I was the only one with major TM problems this weekend.....

jugHeAD....

My "rIcAn" nurse had the same problem with her car 2 weeks ago... :!:

The oil sending unit on her car puked oil all over TRANS-PACK..."tranny sensors"... :x

She was told she need a complete rebuild on tranny $3700.00".... :shock:
I took it to one of my mechanics...Replaced the "trans-Pack" $320.00...RUNS PERFECT.!!

ps..Didn't you say FLUID went everywhere....? Could have DAMAGED sensors... :idea:


pps Next thing to check...would be the TORQUE CONVERTER...?????

 

[Weebco]

did you take it to a fly by night tran shop or what?

 

[hogjowl]

I have Shawn's cell phone number if you want to call him.

 

[Jim Martin]

I think Harper nailed it....TORQUE CONVERTER..

that would be the first place I would look...

then second place would be for a cliff...............a very tall one....

 

[Mike Draper]

What if it got stolen? I suppose that's what insurance is for.

 

[Lyman]

When you had it rebuilt, did you get a new tc of a reman one. Burnt fluid means something is slipping or overheating issues. You should be able to read the codes your truck is throwing. Did you run it hard at 1800rpm to get it home. Get on forums of your truck manufacture and read up on trany problems similar to yours.

 

[ascrubabove]

Check your trany oil cooler (small radiator like thing), might be full of bugs or dirt. The trany shop may have by-passed it!!!

 

[joeynbgky]

So are you using the judson as a backup? Or are u needing to run two trucks? Nothing as dependable as a judson or tcs. Propane is very reliable. But the trans can go out of any vehicle. I got the same trans rebuilt in a van 3 times in two weeks, I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck

WOULD LIFE NOT BE EASIER just to buy a new van and unit.
Just think mikey not gavin to bitch about breakdowns sleep better at night
just for a measley payment once a month.
Plus you would be helping the economy out new truck new unit.
Ask your buddy out there in mi why they buy new vans often?
PAy one off buy a new one its time.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?

Cut and gut or run and gun.

 

[Chris A]

and here I was expecting a "tranny" joke from Brian...

 

[clean one]

I would ck lines going to cooler and cooler itself , be sure fluid is going thru cooler. sounds like a shade tree job

 

[Brian R]

and here I was expecting a "tranny" joke from Brian...

Read it again....it WAS a "Tranny" joke.

 

[XTREME1]

not even remotely what i thought the thread was about

 

[Mikey P]

well they found one stuck valve in there but not obvious what was causing it to stick.


I got to guess metal bits left over from the rebuild..


They are going the extra mile to flush and clean it all this time.

Company appears legit.

So....do you still get that warm and fuzzy feeling when you have to park it on a hill and start it up and release the emg break..knowing that the only thing that is holding it from taking off on you is the tranny...... :shock: :shock:

how many miles on the truck and how many hours on the machine have you racked up...

 

[Mikey P]

80k or so on the odometer, 5040 hours or so

 

[joeynbgky]

Id keep it to. Its not even broke in yet

thats not to bad..I figured you had way more then that...

still a lot of life left in it...

 

[Mikey P]

Just call me Billy.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

Mike in all seriousness it would be much cheaper and efficient for you to just spend the money to make the V right even if that means new engine and transmission.

Sounds like you have made a killing with it and could keep making good money for years to come if you keep it up.

I wouldn't spend 60k on a new truck just because I wanted something new.

 

[Mikey P]

I've come to that conclusion Dan.

New rear doors, weld up some leaks in the fresh, a new wrap and good for at least another two years


If I were the anal O/O I once was I'd want a Drapermount but form my guys, this is just dandy.
