my transmission is acting up at least i think it is the transmission but when accelerating it won't shift i have an auto and it will way over rev it will not shift till i let off the throttle so wtf is going on this tends to do that more often in a heavier accel. than in low but does it all the same

check your fluid is the first step is it burn or low? if it is get a tranny flush and fill and throw a bottle or Lucas tranny service in it. if isnt ur looking at maybe a bad shift servo or loose or broken band or no tranny pressure or low pressure. but seriously check the fluid.

i have already done that should have stated that i guess but i have checked the fluid it looked like new and i haven't started at ne of the other places but i'm going to use some trans service bottle into it today or tommorrow if i can cuz u know hard to find time but as far as that goes what if that doesn't do it what would i need to do if it is ne of the things said above

whats it revving to. If your at WOT you'll shift around redline.

i let off of it before i get there i aint stupid but it gets around 5000 before i will let off of it this is driving me up the wall i was beat in a race the other day because of this if it helps it does it most often in 2'nd & 3'rd gear

sounds like your shift bands are completely fubared i had a an 94 explorer that did this it all started when 2nd gear just dropped off the map and the miraculously came back lol get it checked before it goes to the wayward like my tranny did.

[GreenFaleen]

try staying in the gas a bit it will shift around 5.2 or 5.3 if it gets past that let out, but mines shifted right at redline before I got my tuner.

[00stang]

well the question bout that is will it hurt the engine if i got it that high of a rev and how i fix shift bands if u don't mind tellin me

[GreenFaleen]

it won't hurt it as long as you don't get deep into the redline you get to about 6.5 let out fast you should be no where near there with out a tune. The 3.8 is a strong block. If you want to change your shift bands get an x-cal2 or livewire and you hae control over all that.

you have to pull the plate off the tranny and i dont know i think you may even have to pull the valve body it is DEFINITELY a professional job first try that Lucas tranny service fluid tho it works dreams i should know kept my sunfire kicking heh... is your tranny over full? usually screwed up shift bands only happen if there is way to much fluid or the tranny is heating up and loosing pressure. like for instance my explorer was overheating the tranny bad the fluid was burnt and my tranny cooler was plugged up thats y i blew the servo for second and the bands went all wonky on me.

ps dont do what i did i just beat my explorer untill it puked and scrapped it lol i think every thing that could leak was leaking once i was done with it lmao rear end transfer case tranny engine oil and coolant lol and the rear washer fluid leaked too lol

[00stang]

be sure to follow the direction and that shit is think so keep it in a warm place till u sue it or u will never get it out of the bottle

here is all the possibilities of whats wrong with your tranny for what your experiencing could be vacuum line has broke fallen off or caused a leak too.http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagRes ultsInfo&Parameters=Automatic+Transmission|~2|~Dri ving|~22|~Delayed+Shifts|~45|~Feels+like|~1&FROMJS P=type
