recently my first and second shifts have been real hard. they slam real hard into gear and nearly chirp the tires each time. tranny fluid is fine but i dont know if its the valve body or what. does anyone have a clue to what it is?

 

Is this in a washing machine or vehicle?
What year and model?

 

94 lightning
sorry forgot to put that on there

 

ok let me clarify again that my transmission is kickin real hard goin into 2nd and 3rd gear, as welll as slammin into reverse. fluid is good, im goin to check the filter but i have no clue what else to do.

 

My 93 does it too. It started about 130k and I have 171k on it now.

So if yours is like mine, I know you still have at least 40k miles left

its weird now bc it just went away and now its real smooth. i dont know if my lightning is being good to me or what but i cant explain how it went from super hard to nice and smooth

 

Try having it flushed It cost about 95 bux.

The e4od valve body does have problems when the fluid gets a little dirty.

Hope this helps

what would cause such a thing like that. i mean the fluid in it smells fine and looks red as can be just as if it just came out the bottle. so i dont know what happened to it.

 

The only other thing it could be that I know of it the position censor on the side of the the trans.

hmm ok if u can desc what it looks like and ill take a look at it.

 

K i donno if its the same tranmission but i had a 1993 ford f150 302 with e4od. It started doing that me and my buddy thought it was the greastested thing since slice bread. With bald tires it some times would break loose thought that was sweet for frist truck. Well for 2 years my buddy has been working in a trany shop turns out thats becuze some selinod is not working and it could cuze damage.

I donno about the damage part but my trucks lasted 60 000 shifting hard tell i crashed it
