Well i was coming back home this morning from the store, and my transmission didn't like shifting while under heavy acceleration. It shifts at the right time but it like bogs for a second and then clicks into the next gear. It sounds like it takes to tries to change the gear. It was working perfectly on the way to the store, and i was inside for maybe 20 min. Any ideas??

its an automatic by the way.

thanks

 

well maybe if you continue to woo your transmission it will love you enough to give you no more woes

sorry couldn't resist...!

Not many toys with auto's and I know little about them other than suggest you may benefit from a fluid change... did you make sure it isn't low on tranny fluid?

 

haha

Ya i checked all that yesterday. There are days that I wished I got a manual.

 

I had an issue similar to this on my old car, and it turned out to be a clogged cat. if u still have one unbolt it and run and see what happens.


Not saying thats wat it is but its only 2 bolts to take off to try it









(edit) i mean unbolt it and run IT and see what happens

 

Umm that might explain the really sooty exhaust.....

 

hell yeah, FLUID CHANGE




I did mine recently


that stuff was BLACK

 

Well i took it over to my friends, and after a little investigating, the cat is going out but we moved up the line, and found this spark plug . This is out of the #1 cylinder and from what the manual, it said that I have worn valve seals. So ya, joy.

 

looks disgusting!
man, hope its not that bad..

 

Ya me to. I'm going to have my auto teacher look at it to. Right now i changed the plug and put in some oil treatment so its drivable.

 

swap the plugs, make a test pipe to replace the cat and run a heavier oil with lucas oil treatment. should give you a bit more umph and keep it from burnin too much oil.

 

wat oil are we supposed to run in these dam trucks anyway?
