You could have one of two transmissions. In either case, give it a complete service including a new filter and draining the torque converter. If it is an AOD, make sure the bushing for the throttle cable at the throttle lever is not worn or damaged and, the throttle cable is properly adjusted. You do not have this if you have an E4OD trans. If that doesn't do it, you are probably in for a rebuild. There are no internal adjustments in either that do not require rebuild. I stringly suspect the oil seals are getting pretty hard and leaky causing your problem as cold operation problems are a classic symptom. Lugnut the problems have gone away because of warm temp but my dad is taking a 3 day road trip and i need to know if it would make it their until we get back to replace the trans with one from a nother truck he leave today >the problems have gone away because of warm temp but my dad is taking a 3 >day road trip and i need to know if it would make it their until we get >back to replace the trans with one from a nother truck he leave today No way to know that on your trans or a brand new one. If it seems to be working OK when warm - and it were mine - I would drive it and treat it with respect until repairs can be made. If it is that big a concern, you should have it checked by a competent local trans tech to determine whether something can be done to better ensure your trip will be problem free. Lugnut ok thanx for your help |
