On the way to work today it slipped for a moment and then "caught" as I left from a light under light acceleration.

Is it possible to get something like this as an occasional abnormality or is always a sign of impending failure?
It only has 47K and has light use for the most part.


I know I could've posted in another section but this one has more activity.

 

N-e-1 ?

 

change the filter and fluid and pray

 

DO NOT put any addetives in. if anything do as dlt76028 said and change fluid/filter. look in the pan for any excesive clutch material or metal. theres a magnet on the pan which helps on that. also clean the pan as much as possible while its out to save a little trash running through the filter. if you see a lot of contamination just clean change and pray...

 

if it's shifting .. its still ok. . when it dont move . . then u have a problem

 

I got a trans for sale if you want?

But like they said that's not a good sign at all, I'm gonna be straight with you, when mine acted up it lost reverse and drive when I parked it that day

 

Thanks for the replies. The pan holds about 4 qts,right? What about having it power flushed at a good place?

I'm gonna be really pissed if it's on its way out at 47K. I check the fluid often for level and color.

If it needs a new unit,I'll sell the truck after that.

It has a 125k limited power train warranty from the dealer.

 

yea about 4qts. dont flush it, just change the fluid

 

Ive seen em take a **** in stock v6s with less mileage...its the luck of the draw.
