I'm baaaaaaaaak . . . Now it's a weird take-off problem
Took everyone's advice back in March and replaced the 4t65 in my hi-mileage 2000 GPSE.
1st used replacement was junk. Mechanic replaced it
2nd used replacement ok except for "THE PROBLEM" (more later) Mechanic replaced it
3rd used replacement ok too except for "THE PROBLEM" Mechanic had it rebuilt
3rd used replacement rebuild ok too except for "THE PROBLEM" Mechanic is presumably hiding out till I can get my hands on him monday morning.
So what's "THE PROBLEM"?
TRANSMISSION SLIPS & SHUDDERS LIKE CRAZY. . .
ONLY after car is very warmed up, like after a trip to my mechanic 3 counties away, and
ONLY on first couple of moderate take-offs, and
ONLY after car has been in R or N.
1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shifts are fine.
and take off is fine as long as shifter doesn't go to R or N again.
I am afraid to turn my mechanic loose on this one because I'm afraid something will just keep getting worse & his warranty coveage is short. I can't believe I'm having the same problem out of 3 transmissions. I'm losing patience fast & mechanic is losing hair even faster. Step right up & give me your best guess. Maybe it's not even a trans problem.
"Nothing drives like a Pontiac" (bit I do wish it would take off right)
