Hey everyone. I made a post about this a few months ago but it wasn't very clear and I didn't have a scan (now I do). Heres a quick rundown:
PRJ tuned my car in May and informed me that my 1-2 shift was a sloppy. I kinda figured it was because it started acting funny about 5K miles after I switched over to Dex 6 (got 2 trans fluid changes to totallly replace all the fluid with Dex6 (valvoline Dex6).
Apparently the shift time should be around .25 seconds and my car was shifting at .52 seconds??? I highlighted the part in the scan below. The numbers on the right in the yellow highlighted second is the Gear and the numbers on the left is the Shift Time.
When I am accelerating from a stop light I can tell that the trans is slipping because right at the end of the shift you can hear the engine rev a little bit.
I took it to a trans shop a few weeks ago (did not have the scan) and explainined everything to them but the guy just drove my car around and said it was ok. He took the car and hooked the trans up to the computer to see if it was spitting any goods and it came back clean. I remember PRJ telling me that once the shift time hits a certain number it will then throw a code, and its almost there. I can't remember what the shift time was that he told me but I was getting close with my .52.
I still have an GMPP Major Guard extended warranty on my car which goes to 72,000miles. The car has 57,000 on it right now. I was planning on tackling this in the spring but I've really been packing the miles on my car lately and I'd rather just get this over with now.
I need to know if, from the scan, anyone can tell if my trans is indeed shifting slow and then how do I approach a shop about this??? Thank you all.
