• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

You already done more than a flush could ever... Sure all the fluid doesn't come out when you drop the pan, but a flush won't help a bit. Just sayin...

You bring up a good point. Im a bit desperate and im thinking of anything that could help. If this tranny REALLY is dying... im honestly going to have to consider selling this thing because i dont have enough knowledge/ time/ or confidence to drop a transmission.

Good point /: im just desperate... i dont have enough knowledge to drop a trans and dont have enough money to replace one.
 
There's definitely slipping going on, at first anyway. At 2:11 you took it up to 3,000 RPM from a dead stop, right? That's really impossible until you start moving. Anybody can try this, from a dead stop, give it half throttle, or more but don't allow the wheels to slip. See how high you can get the RPM's to go before you start moving. I can't get any higher than 2,500 to start.

Notice it stops right at 2,500, and climbs as I gain speed. That is normal operation. I also have a brake light on just like him, so it's the same exact conditions :cool:
 
In daily driving it the way it is within the last week... I have had it once rev to about 4k for like 3 seconds before it would start moving but then after it drops back down to around 2500 it catches up to itself. As a note... this doesnt happen at all when starting with the gear shifter in 1 instead of d.
 
Hook up a gauge and check the line pressure. My transmission had similar problems and it turned out to be a worn input clutch piston.
 


Take a read through the swap tranmission thread in the How to section (Search my username and the word "Ea sy" without the space.

There aren't any special tools needed that you probably can't borrow.

13mm
10mm
8mm
15mm
18mm
34-36mm (free loaner tools for doing axles)
3-4foot piece of 4x4

That's about all you need to swap a transmission. If you read through the procedure a few times.. you'll swap it faster than most shops.
