92 tranny problems
Hi guys, been a while since I've been here. I have a new problem that surfaced today.
My truck has been working fine for quite some time. I haven't hauled anything or pulled atrailer in about 6 months. Last weekend I did pull a trailer with two fourwheelers on it. The truck did not want to shift to the next gear. I would rev it up and let off the gas and it would shift then. After unhooking the trailer it did just fine. I checked the fluid level yesterday and it was about a quart low, so I topped it off.
Today I get in it, with no load at all, and it will not shift. It would but only after running the RPM up very high. Also it seemed to be coasting. When I would accelerate, if it didn't shift there was no engine braking. It was as if it was just free-wheeling.
It will go into first fine, reverse as well. When it does shift there is no slipping, it just won't shift. I bought it used so I have no idea when the fluid was last changed, it didn't smell burnt when I pulled the stick but who knows.
What could be causing this?

Thanks Lazy k.
I did that a little while aga and took it for a spin around the block. It will shift now without having to race the engine and it engaged solidly in gear, no more free wheeling.
It still is not right, but better.

Ok, changed the fluid and filter. Took it for a ride and it seemed fine.
Right before I got home I went up a little hill and made it kick down. After kicking down, it didn't want to shift back up. I came to a stop, started back off and it shifted fine.
I have looked and din't see any solenoid on the case anywhere, where would it be? Does it even have one?

When you changed the fluid did you drain the torque converter? That`s where most of the old fluid is.
Not an expert but maybe the governor is sticking and fresh fluid has helped.
