So my transmission slipped tonight...ideas?
So tonight I was trying to lane jam packed full on my right to get onto a highway, I hammered it trying to get into a spot and the eingine revved for about 1 second then caught back in gear. I've put about 20 miles on it since this happened and it hasnt happened again.
Fluid was last chagned at 40k miles, and I plan on changing it again at 80k. Any ideas why thsi would happen? I checked the fluid, the level was okay and the fluid was red.
thanks for any tips!

I'm afraid to be hard on it.....I'm thinking about having my tranny rebuilt by the dealer I work at and have a shift kit installed. My 1-2 shift is getting kind of hard as well.
I can get labor for $30 an hour vs. $65 an hour for the regular customers.

I had the same problem only going like 30 to 39 mph. All I had to do was top off the fluid and over fill by half a quart...problem fixed.
I do know that our trannys have starvation problems around corners and over filling a half a quart fixes that.
hope your trannys ok.

THis is a good time for you to put in a quart of Lucus transmission doctor. Makes the shifting smooth.

You did check the fluid per the owners manual so the fluid circuits/passages would be filled with fluid, Trans also warm correct?
