man, what a POS this truck is turning out to be...first the cooling system, then the trans, plus the oil leaks...had to take the freeway and I was notcing some slipping, like it didn't want to kick down, or go into third...then heard a roaring sound and had no 3rd at all (or "D")...Had to take the back way home, drove it in 2 and didn't go over 40-45 MPH...did i mention that this is my daily driver and i have no other way to work? I have no idea what to do... It's the A904...

 

oh, yeah, only goes into reverse if the idle is low and still revs and slams in...

 

Check the trans fluid level first. If the fluid level is OK you are probably looking at a rebuild. My bet is the front clutch is screwed up. Find a reputable trans shop.

 

well...there is WAY too much fluid on the dipstick...gonna drain some and see what happens...

 

did you check it while it was running in neutral?

 

yep...drained about a quart out, gonna see what happens...

 

if that dont help try the tranny fix from lucis. and if all else fails dump a pint of brake fluid in it and sell it or drive it to the tranny shop and have it rebuilt

 

what does the brake fluid do?
tried the lucas...dont think it did anything
do i want to have mine rebuilt, or get a different one?

 

atthewmartin114: Remind me never to buy anything from you.

 

well, driving the back way in 2 is gonna have to work, because i have to get to work. i dont go above 40...
