Re: Tranny Problems

Sometimes with these...Its posible for someone to install the tranny and the TV cable isn't set for high enough oil pressure. The tranny can about "act" normall but, is really running around with low oil pressure. Its hard to tell with out a pressure gauge on it. As the computer will give you the correct "shift timing" but the "shift feel" will be lacking. It can be hard to detect this by the seat of your pants. Especially, if you don't just "do" trannys. Average heavy line person may not pick it up. And the owner will never, till its cooked.

Its best, I think, to leave the TOT(transmission oil temp) sensor alone but, you could put a resistor inline or something. I'm not sure off hand if you would need more resistance or less to fool the TCM.

A couple aftermarket shift kits really address the TCC(torque converter clutch) issues nice also. Unfortunatly the dealer can't install them.

*Just a couple thoughts from a tranny guy*
