so i was driving up a hill today and just cruising fine, then a slow car... i put it to the floor to pass him and what happens.. no shift... so i thought that kind of odd... i then came to a light... normal throttle, not WOT, and it would not shift to 2nd... when it finally shifted to 2nd, it wouldnt go to 3rd... top speed 50mph @ 5000 rpm. dead tranny? rebuild? anything at all would be cool guys...

btw, its the original tranny with 160k on it... so i wouldnt be suprised if its dead...

first off try checking the fluid with the engine running, on a level surface, with the engine hot. also check the tv cable and make sure it hasen't broken or slipped out of adjustment.

i did the fluid check and it is full, but burnt, very badly... the smell from the garage got into the house and scared my mom, she thought there was an electrical fire...

AAMCO said $2300 was worst case scenario for a diagnostic, teardown and rebuild. Brand spankin new Raptor 700R4 with beefy servo's and an external trans cooler was $1900.. what about those used 700R4's on Hawksthirdgenparts.com? $300, but do they run? guarantee? any ideas?

If this happened all at once, then it is most likely a broken or stripped governor gear. If you want a quality transmission try http://pro-built.net/index.cfm?fusea...t&productid=35 this should give you everything you need/want. Let me know if I can be of help?

i was actually looking on a rebuild as i am moving from SoCali to Phoenix area AZ in a week... i cant really afford a new one, i was just using that as a last resort... whats a good price on a rebuild? full tear down and rebuilt..

Probuilt won't steer you wrong, and for your mild engine you won't ever break it.

I bought a street-strip for my S10 in April of 2001 and have put nearly 20,000 miles of use and abuse on it, including towing a car heavier than the truck on a dolly across four states- trust me, after seeing what AAMCO would charge you for a STOCK rebuild Probuilt's a bargin!
