Trannies Down and Out.

Allright, Im pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I thought that I would ask the experts first.

So I finally got my ECM problem fixed and I took my car out for a drive for the first time since last week. I drove it for a half a mile or so and then mashed it from a stop (hey, might as well get to the point right?). It seemd to accelerate like normal but on the 1-2 shift, my rpms flared from 4500 to 5500 for about a second before it shifted. Usually this is a pretty solid shift. Im pretty sure that it has a shift kit in it. This caused some false nock at about 35.5 degrees and 900mv on the O2. So I layed off of it for a little while. During this time I noticed that all of my shifts were pretty soft. After some driving, I floored it again from a rolling start. Again, the same thing. There are NO specks in the fluid and it doesnt smell burnt. Its probably clean because I had my torque converter replaced no more than a month ago.

Is my tannie needing rebuilt or replaced?

Thanks,

well 1st thing to check is to make sure the TV cable did not come out of adjustment. But being you got all that false knock it sounds like something let go inside, I had the same thing and it turned out to be a snapped stator. It made a ticking at first and then turned into an awful slip and loud noise but it made it home. Good luck man

add 2 quarts of oil and roadtest.afterwards install a pressure gage to verify proper pump operation,tv pressure.post results.www.ckperformance.com.w/out numbers cant pinpoint problem .only can speculate,and that creates wasted time and frustration on everyones part.

Well I reset the TV cable and that helped alot. Theres still a little rpm flare on the 1-2 shift under WOT. It only flares up 2or 3 hundred rpm and then shifts. At lower acceleration, the 1-2 shift is firm and precise but at wot it is kind of soft and not the head snapping shift that it should be.

Any ideas?

can i get a pressure gauge at autozone or is it a mor specialized part?

You can go to any hydraulic supply house and have them make you up one for about $25. Get a 0-300 psi gage, about 6-7' of hose, and a 1/8" npt/pushlok adapter.

there shouldnt be any flare on the 1/2 at all this is an indication of a problem.
