Just came back from snowmobile trip 600 miles return pulling 24' v-nose and stopped at light 10 minutes from home, light turnrd green and no more drive
Put it down to 2nd no change, put it down to 1st and we had forward but you feel vibration, once rolling ,you can move it up to 2nd and "D" and feels normal, had one more stop before arriving home and same thing, no forward in "D" or 2nd but 1st it rolls forward and again some vibration, got home and had reverse to back it in driveway, haven't looked at it yet this morning, just wanted to get heads up before I bring it to the transmission shop, forgot to mention I had it in Tow Haul throughout the trip, automatic transmission.......thanks

 

What were your tranny temps while pulling? Did you have a winter front on that may have caused some cooler blockage?

 

Sounds like the governer pressure transducer and solenoid. Change them out and you should be golden. Sounds like it is stuck in second.

 

Ended up being the drum in transmission, middle of drum where splines are sheared off.......12 hours labour plus parts......$2200.00
Is this common breakage , what causes these to break ?

 

the drum no not usually they are very strong the tc and clutches can go relatively easy but i hear the drum is good for a lot of rpms and power

 

i bet someone on here has a stock drum for cheap just look around talk to some tranny shops and such unles syou are alreaady getting it built?

 

please tell me that the price is including a upgraded unit.

 

Yeah, you're only $1500 from a built tranny!!!

 

i could see a nice suncoast or ats in that bad boy.. some people cant wait for the tranny to start going out. makes it justifiable to the wife when you rack up the bill for a built tranny...
