Re: Trans slips

Random thoughts...


Were you there while the work was being done? Or, did you leave her unattended? Was the mileage in noted on the work order. .. how far from the shop to your house? What is the milage now? And, yes, you know where I'm going with that..

Have you checked the fluid level?

How does it feel when you put it in drive or reverse? Same as before? Or, is there more of a delay? Check with the HVAC on and again with it off ( changes base idle speed). Delayed engagement is indicative of a bad front pump. So is ( up to a point ) a flare in RPM on a shift.

Slams into gear? Check the dropping resistor and wiring behind the battery. But if it was the dropping resistor / wiring, all shifts should be hard. So, an outside possibility.

Yes, it is possible that it was a coincidence .. Had a fuel pump on a 5.0 'Stang decide to die while getting some vacuum lines replaced. The mechanic went crazy trying to figure out why it fell flat on it's face when you punched it.. Fuel pump would hold pressure for about ten minutes... then slowly start to drop.. It was fine up until then, it just picked exactly that point to coincidentally die.

Lowered springs? Check the transmission cooler lines in the driver's side front wheel well. Check for a pinched line.

Lowered springs? Check the transmission pan for damage.. Especially if you left it unattended.

Good luck..
