wierd trans shift
I was on my way to work this morning, everything working normal. Got off freeway and a couple of lights down the road, after stopping, it did not want to shift into second. I let off the throttle and it shifted. After that everything was normal again. The same thing happened on the way home. I could not duplicate this afterwards though. Each way on the freeway is about 18 miles. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I dont mean to alarm you, but thats exactly what mine did twice, then, BANG!!!! She fell apart. If it was me, I would get it to a tranny shop ASAP and have it looked at. It was an expensive mistake on my part for thinking it would keep going...It warned me, twice.

What you could do is call up J. Woods tranny since your on the west coast and see what he says, worst case senario you need a rebuild. Maybe Mark Kovalsky(Edited and fixed), our trans expert will be by to confirm.

It takes a complete rebuild, with the replacement of some of the hard parts that usually are not replaced in a rebuild. It will set a code once it misses the shift enough times.

Re-build or J. Woods
Would I be better off rebuilding or getting a built one from J. Woods?

I had a local trusted trans shop diagnose and install a TRANSGO TUGGER II KIT and replace with all new fluid! I have had no issues since!
