Thread: Tranny issues

Need some insight, ive got a 2001 gtp w\ supercharged option, and my tranny is giving issues. I have reverse,(works beautifully), but the forward gears are different. In 3-D nothing at all, it catches in 1-2, but it is sluggish and slipping, the only part i dont understand is once i reach about 30mph, i can put it into 3, then drive. It will drive like there was never an issue to begin with. I can take it up a hill and it will even downshift into 3 and climb just fine, the issue only seems to be in taking off. Any help for me

Assuming that the fluid and filter have been maintained... Your issue sounds like an issue with the forward band. You'll need a complete rebuild if that's the case.

its the forward band for sure, thats how it acts, will drive in 1 or 2, nothing in 3 or OD.

sadly its a full rebuild when you change it, its that deep inside. likely if you drop the pan you'll find a metal tab laying there, thats the busted part of the band.

It shouldn't cost anything more for a rebuild than a non-HD tranny. The difference is just gearing and the differential.

Since you're in Ohio, you should make the short drive to Fort Wayne, Indiana and let triple edge hook you up with one of their transmissions. They make the strongest transmissions for high performance builds and make great regular street transmissions too.
