Is my transmission failing?
I read through as many links as I could find that was similar to mine, but nothing exactly.
I was offroading about a month ago, well not really off roading, but I was parking in a grass lot for an event and all of a sudden the transmission started to slip? Engine revved and no power to the transmission twice, maybe three times while driving on an uneven grass surface. Went to the event, came back and no problems, shifting fine. Shifting seems okay since then aside from a quick 2-3 shift which I've had for a while. Two days ago I'm coming out of a regular parking lot this time, normal operating conditions, and I brake at the intersection. I look for traffic, go to accelerate and no acceleration. If felt as if it wanted to grab, short bumps like it wanted to, but didn't. I let it go back to idle and then eased into it and it drove, almost normally. Brake at the traffic light and before I could come to a complete stop I went to continue and it flared as I released it engaged and then drove normal again. Since then, normal shifting with an occasional bump when transferring from braking to driving without a complete stop. Fluid level is normal, fluid and filter changed less than 1500 miles ago (2-3 months). Trans mount replaced. Only problem is that I am chasing a door lock vac leak on the "unlock" side of the system. Will fix that this weekend. Does that sound vac related, B2, K1, converter, rebuild or something very simplistic that can be fixed cheaply and quickly?(yeah, right!) I would like to fix this before I'm stranded. ![]() Todd
