Transmission slips at low RPM's

[turbotaone]

The tranny in my TTA is starting to slip at low speeds.
When I start off from a dead stop and exlerate normally
it will go up to about two grand on the tach and then it
will start to slip until I let off and then it takes hold again.
When it does this it feels just like when you slip the clutch
in a car with a manual transmission. However, when I floor
it the car shifts normal and the tranny doesn't slip. The fluid
level is ok. Does this mean my tranny needs rebuilt ?

Thanks James

I'm far from an expert, but it kinda sounds like the convertor is toast. I think if the tranny itself slips, it would be worse at wot, not better.

Adjust your TV cable. The directions should pop up if you do a search on www.gnttype.org.

hey im having the same problem. does your also slip on the downshift when you punch it from a roll? i tried the TV cable, no luck, tranny fluid level, good. i think its a band prob cuz its only on the 1-2 shift for me coming off a stop or on a downshift.

 

[turbotaone]

Yes, mine also slips on the 1-2 downshift only.
I'm going to try adjusting the TV cable and also
I'm going to change the fluid and filter just for the
heck of it, but I think that it is a band problem also.

Thanks James

Anyone else ?

 

[turbotaone]

Thanks Doug Jacobson, it was the TV cable.
I adjusted it last night and now it shifts fine.
It was only off by one notch, but what a difference
that one notch made.
