hey rich did you do the tranny yourself? I am pretty sure my tranny is about to die it spurratically starts gettin jumpy like the truck is missing when im on the highway, im pretty sure its not the motor since its not throwing a CEL, i think OD is slipping... idk need to keep an eye out for a spare tranny, think it woill be cheaper by far than rebuilding mine since I dont wanna try to rebuild it...

nope, I actually paid to have some one do it. If i had another vehicle i might of tackled it myself, but because i cant be vehicleless I took it to Capital Transmission.
3 days, updates and a few bucks later im driving a complete differant vehicle.

mind if I ask how much? seeing as mine might be going under the knife soon...

 

[2004xlmiller]

is it still slipping into neutral and stuff?

 

[ben10]

no I put some lucas additive in it, but now when im on the freeway sometimes it will start shuddering like its slipping then grabbing, almost feels like a bad miss, but it shouldnt be a miss, cause that would pop the CEL, so im assuming its the tranny.

it was 2200 and then gave me 2% discount for paying cash. so like 2156. I had places quote me 2500-3100. still hurt though.
clutches replaced, planatary replaced, thrust washers replaced, heaveir duty TC. bunch of other crap. 36/50,000 warrenty.
He "told" me that he built this so it could handle the 4.0.
This shop came reefered to me by a guy that does race cars and is a mechanic in folsom. So im trusting him.

you might want to check the flexplate/spacer in yours. Mine felt the same way when it broke on me at 125k miles. That was changed about 3 months ago.

[2004xlmiller]

i hope i can..

 

[ben10]

yeah morg just cleaned the MAF and the IAC, its not that, it did the exact same thing today in a few of the other gears so I no longer think its the tranny, I wonder if its the coil or something...
