Hey everyone,
I just changed my transmission fluid a little while ago, and when I start my truck in the morning, and shift it into drive, the transmission will slip as I take off in first gear. It only does this for a few times and then it works fine. I added some of the Lucas Transmission addetive and that seemed to help. When I check the tranny fluid, after warmed up with engine running in park, the fluid level shows fine. There are no leaks at all. Not sure if I still need more fluid or not. Temp gauage reads between 180-195* on my transmission.
BTW its a 5R55E transmission. I never had this problem before I changed the fluid at all.
Thanks,
Keith
