Hey i8hmud forum,
I‘ve been ready here for a while about transmission problems / shifting issues, but now it’s the time for me to share my problem.
So i bought my 93‘ modell at the beginning of this year. My gf and i are planing on doing a long Panamerica trip.
Every time after driving for an hour in warm
To hot weather in really slow LA traffic, we experienced a very firm/ harsh shift from gear 1/2 and back. It just happened, when i would slowly accelerate from 0-15mph and then let go off the paddle. The car would still have the momentum and kept rolling. Then the hard shift would occur. It is a really significant, loud noise that is noticeable in the hole car.
3 month ago, we took it to a Transmission Shop ( Leons Transmission Reseda). They told us, the transmission is worn out (214k).
After having the transmission completely rebuild / new vaulve body/ new transfercase, we drove it on the highway… the noise was still there.
We instantly took it back , they changed the vaulve body and it was fine for 2/3 weeks, till it came back. I keept driving it with the second vaulve body, but after 1.5 month it became worth.
I took it back to Leons Transmission and they change it to a 3rd vaulve body. We picked it back up, and after 1 hour in the traffic, the problem/ noise was even worse before it dropped it off.
The shop test drove it again and the problem did come up.
After 3 attempts and having the truck 6 weeks in the shop, we still experience the same intermitted problem and payed 4.5k for a new rebuild.
Tomorrow we going back to the shop and pick the truck up.
I was luckily able to take a Video while the truck was acting up. I going to attach it here.
I hope someone know anything or can help us any further. Thanks.
