Hello eveyone, long time mud follower, 1st time poster. I purchased an 96 80 series about a year ago. I have done the full comprehensive baseline as posted from mud as well as complete front and rear end rebuilds and U joints. I'm currently working on the motor.
I haven't had problems from the trans but concerns. While driving, if I let off the gas and coast for a bit, such as a stop light or making a slow turn, if I dont fully stop and I give it gas to continue driving, I have a slight hesitation from the time the motor powers up to when the transmission picks up again and starts moving. The motor revs without going anywhere, then the trans will fall into gear again and allow me to continue. Not a large clunk or thump, just a hesitation and a slight jerk, as if its falling into gear again.
Is this normal? Or is there something else I should be looking at fixing?
When I purchased him, he had 235k on him, I replaced every filter and fluid on him using all Lucas products.
Thank you for the help ahead of time. I have been using these forums for a year now while rebuilding and they have been the absolute biggest help.
