Transmisson problems?
Question: What is wrong when once in a while, the transmisson in my 03 PSD will "slam" into reverse at idle? 90% of the time it will go in to reverse smooth. Have been told to drop the pan and take alook and see if anything has acumulated in the bottom. I asume that there is a filter right there....replaceable or do you just clean it?
This transmisson has been acting up since the 16 year old hit this truck in the rear axle back in Dec. Don't know if the accident had anything to do with this, but 2 weeks after I got the truck out of the bodyshop...took it to the mountains pulling a trailer and on 2 trips to the top of the pass, the transmissson temp gauge all of a sudden went into the caution range. Made this same trip a year ago and the temp showed normal and didn't fluckuate at all...so something is not right. Your thoughts please.
Truck has 77k on the clock and the transmisson was flushed when I bought it at 57k. Thanks
My reverse is doing the same as you describe. The pump has to be spun longer before there is enough pressure to 'catch'.
Good Luck!
oh and I am at 80,000 with regular tranny service
