C6 Problems

I have some major issues with my C6. The trans. hooks up great in 1st, but wont shift into second. It seems like it will go into second sometimes, or skip second and go straight to third. Also everytime I let off the gas fluid sprays out off the passenger side somewhere. I havent checked anything yet, because I dont know jack about transmissions. Im going to try and adjust the linkage and do a band adjustment tonight. I will akso check the line to the vaccum modulator. Anything else? Thanks.

Not a trans expert either but yes adjust the band, check the vacuum line and pull the vacuum pipe off the modulator and look for signs of fluid in the pipe. The fluid leak may be a busted fluid cooler line.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking the same thing about the cooler line. I made sure the nuts were tight, but maybe they were damaged when dropping the trans. or putting the new one in.

Look also along the length of the cooler lines. If they are rubbing against something it can wear a hole in the line thats difficult to see.
