So I just put my suncoast valve body in and I am havin some issues. When I first too the truck out for a test drive everything was great. I took it to work the next morning and heck broke loose. If I am at an intersection and turn either left or right my truck feels like it shifts to neutral going from first to second gear. If I stop at a stop sign and drive straight there is no slip. Its only when I am turning from a dead stop. It almost feels like the trannys slipping. I did a front band adjustment and it did not help the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this might be and how to fix it. I hope I dont have a faulty VB. Everything else works great except for that first to second shift turning. Any ideas fellas? Thanks!

 

Got enough fluid in it? Maybe turning would slosh the fluid around...

 

It's not in 4x4 is it? could have accidentally shifted without your knowing.
If not suggest you contact Suncoast.

 

Well just checked the fluid again and its halfway between low and full. Think that could cause it fellas? Thanks y'all for youre help!

 

K this is whats goin on fellas..... The fluid level was reading halfway in between min and max. I just filled it up to max and the problems fixed. I talked to a suncoast rep and they said I was starving the valve body when the fluid washed to one side while I was turning. I cant beleive I pulled a newbie! hahaha... But at least its fixed. Thanks a lot fellas for all y'alls help!

 

Yep, them suckers hold alot of fluid, especially with a deep pan.

 

glad to hear you got your problem solved fordkiller43..how do you like the new suncoast??
