06 48RE delayed shift into second gear under load
Finally my trans is having some problems. [verymad] I searched the zillion posts we have on the issue, but depending on the search criteria, well I couldn't find an answer....
After 120,000 miles it is beginning to delay the shift into second, like up to 3500 rpm's, so I find myself letting off so it shifts. This is usually when trans is hot and I'm pulling a load. Trans is stock except for a VB kit. Same sensor, same solenoid. Is it time for a Goerend or is there still hope for this trans? |
have you ever changed your fluid and filter, and have you adjusted the bands?
|
I've changed my fluid and filter many times, taken out the VB and rebuilt it with the Suncoast kit, adjusted the bands once.... Some say NEVER do this...
I checked the trans fluid and the dip stick looks like it has some grey material on it.... Is that my imagination or am I burning up clutches or something? |

My second gear band was gone and the truck would shift into third when I let up on it. I had a complete rebuild with a few improvements and a billet torq converter added and she shifts good now. Mine was around 2k but I already had the transgo shift kit in stalled. The shiftkit and improved solenoids as well as the heavier converter are a must in my opinion. You can spend as much as 10k on these things but for me a "race" transmission is not necessary for what I am doing. Good luck. |
