More Tranny Problem

[Red03SilSS]

OK. My stall seems to be working fine now, its locking up and everything like it is suppose to.

Something else that is happening. When Im going about 20-30 and I floor it, it drops down in first gear. Sometimes when it shifts to second, my truck falls on its face, almost like it missed the shift. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesnt. Its been doing more lately for some reason. Does anyone have a clue what that may be? Does it have something to do with my shift kit or what? Its almost like my truck dies for a second than it shifts and goes.

I havent had it changed since I had the truck. Could that be it? What needs to go back into it if I I get it changed?

whats the color of the tranny fluid? i can say just before mine went out it sounds like it was doing the samething as yours

Clean fluid in the transmission is a great starting point. Does your truck have a throttle cable or is it DBW? The trans will shift odd when a TPS is going out.

Did you get a new tune sometime recently? Maybe the TM wasn&#39;t removed on the last tune. It seems all your transmission issues came all at once. You have a Corvette 1-2 servo installed, right? Does the transmission slip when it goes for second or does the engine power puke during the shift? Do you have a SES lights on?

No I havent had a tune in 4 months or so. Yes I do have the vette servo. It doesnt feel like it slips, it feels like the engine is dying, it all happens so fast its hard to tell. But im pretty sure its not slipping. No I do not have any SES lights on.

You&#39;re not running on less than a ¼ tank of gas like some other idiot did are you?

Had my tranny fluid changed today and the old shit was black as could be. So maybe that was my problem, fluid with 72k+ on it. Well see over the next couple of days.

Black is not good. Makes me curious how much of it was clutches.

Would bad tranny fluid cause my stall not to lock up?
