Hi Mudders,
I recently went out of town for 8-days before I left I:
It shifts so smoothly that it almost feels like it did when I was learning how to drive 5-speed and I'd let the clutch out realllllly slowly to get the smoothest shift. The tranny is not "slipping", I know what that feels like... it almost feels as if my tranny fluid has the viscosity of molasses and it's making for realllllly smooth shifts.
So, my question is, WHY IS IT SHIFTING SO SMOOTH?! I can't accept the fact that greasing my u-joints and driveshafts or the ECU power-cycle would cause the transmission to begin shifting smoother because that would be way too easy!
Any thoughts? Am I witnessing my transmission going to pot?
***Important note: the transmission was replaced at 140k after my brother destroyed it trying to get out of a snowbank. The idiot decided to take it out for a little "winter fun" while my parents were out of town and just so happened to cause $4000 in repairs lol***
I recently went out of town for 8-days before I left I:
- Disconnected the battery (was left disconnected for all 8-days)
- Removed top-end EGR diaphragms and submerged them in seafoam for the week,
- Cleaned the TB with it still assembled - (I did not remove TB -- I just removed the air-cleaner intake hose and cleaned it from the TB intake opening, the brake booster hole, the PCV intake hole, and the EGR temp sensor hole with Seafoam and TB cleaner)
- Greased every zerk I could find on both front and rear drive-shafts and U-joints with Moly grease
- Replaced the Upstream o2 sensor (B1S1)
