okay so my truck has almost 220,xxx... automatic v6 magnum, anyways ever since 165,xxx when i first got it.. its always had a slip here and there going from 1st to 2nd whether it was full of tranny fluid or not.. thing is.. i went to the transmission shop friday and got the fluid filter and bands adjusted.. i mean it feels like it shifts better but that 1st to 2nd slip is still there... i dont think itll ever go away and i dont know whats causing it. i know the tranny will need to be rebuilt before 300,xxx im sure.. but every sound or rub makes me panic thinking the transmission is going out.. i know it helped it because the fluid was pretty dark.. and now its got a pink tint back plus the filter was nasty and had metal shavings in it.. but should i just stop worrying about it? any reassuring would definately help.. i love my truck but im freaking out.

 

Does adjusting the bands work when the bands are worn? If not, the warn bands could cause the slipping, or maybe the torque convertor? I'm not a mechanic so I could be wrong.

Maybe it's time to get it rebuilt or get a new trans.

 

well heres the thing i checked my tranny fluid earlier and it was almost 2 QUARTS LOW!! they didnt even fill it all the way.. im going back tomorrow raising hell and asking for a refund or something cuz this is bs. shifts just fine and doesnt slip anymore either thank god

 

Let them think they messed up the transmission from not putting enough fluid in. Maybe they will replace it
