As several people have stated all ready, "check you tranny oil properly". At this point it really doesn't matter how much oil you "bought" or how much someone "told" you to put in. Check it when at operating temp and if low....add more. Your problem just might get solved.........

 

Are you maybe having 3rd gear starts, they feel like a real pig when that happens. Count your shift to make sure you have all the gears if you haven't already done that.

 

Good point. Maybe even the TV cable is so far out that as soon as you accelerate, it shifts to second then to third that fast.

 

I keep checking it and adding a little more as it gets lower. But its staying at the ok mark

 

Same here. I said dextron because you said dextron

 

Ya i talked with dave today and we got it figured out. Hes sending me a new governor pressure solenoid sensor and it should be in tomorrow. He said thats what he thinks it is. I checked the fluid and it was a little below the ok mark but not at the add mark. I added a little and still no change. Its not shifting down into 1st when I stop. It just stays in 3rd

 

I got the full tranny, new vbs and all

 

Thats exactly whats goin on. I figured that out last night after I posted this. Then I talked to dave today and we got it figured out

 

Thanks for all yalls help and input

 

Glad it's figured out, no joy in dropping that much coin and having 3rd gear starts.....get r fixed and enjoy....you'll think it was worth it when she's working well.

 

That OEM part fails all the time...I have had it happen twice.

Freaks you out...but you can test with manual shift to find the exact problem.

 

So what was broke, missing or misadjusted?

 

I got it fixed. Its was just the pressure sensor. Ya dave told me even though it was brand new they fail all the time. Ya we figured it out my doin the manual shift test. But anyway, its fixed and now I love it. It shifts awesome and makes my truck feel way better
