I went to a tranny shop and they pulled an error with ther Snap On tool.
The error was "Speed Control Cannot Maintain Speed".

Now does this meen I have to have this tranny rebuilt?

The shift is slugish on the final 2 gears..and when you get off the trottle and back on the tranny stalls then kicks in. It sometimes will clunk loudly. Maybe this is why my gas mileage has also suffered. At Highway..the damn thing shifts up and down so much its annoying, especially if I am not on the trottle at 70mph constantly. It does it more than I know is normal. Seems to be "gear hunting " a lot.

So anyone with any tranny knowledge, I would appreciate some feedback.
I have a warranty, but if this is not a rebuild which the shop suggested, I don't want to subject my coverage to pay for something unecessary. The extended warranty companies can be funny about what they want to pay for and I don't want to have any over charges for nothing. So later when something big happens I don't have any coverage issues.

Today after breaking hard from about 30mph the truck started to roll backwards when I took my food off the brake. The engine reved freely as I reapplied the brakes then waited a few seconds to get back on the trottle. That worked and I was able to continue driving. For a second there I thought the truck somehow jumped into Neutral.

Thanks

Have you checked the fluid level, and the condition? If it's brown and smells burnt, the tranny is probably gone. If it's nice and red and smells fresh, but maybe a little frothy, make sure it isn't overfilled or underfilled.

 

The 2002 has no dipstick. Its a paint to check it too. Wel since my vehicle showed a code, I was wondering if its possible I just need minor repairs and not a rebuild. The Truck is a 2002 4.0, 4x4 with just over 52k miles on it. I think I will drop the pan and take a look and install a new filter.
