Re: Transmission Slipping Please help

At this stage do not give up hope. There is absolutely no reason to accept that the transmission must be replaced or completely overhauled.

It would appear that you have been cautious since you noticed the problem and therefore it is reasonable to hope that nothing has been seriously worn due to slippage.

You are correct in suspecting low line pressure. This can be easily tested by someone with the right equipment and the test will cost very little.

If low line pressure is detected, this can be due to a faulty “A” solenoid valve, which can be checked and if necessary replaced, without removing the transmission, and at a reasonable cost.

Keep fingers crossed.
