ok so my 98 dak 3.9l v6 is having trouble shifting. it shifts from first to second perfectly fine. but when it goes to shift from second to third the only way it'll shift is if i let up one the gas. then it shifts to all the other gears fine. my fluids are all fine. but i have no idea what it is. ne one know or have the same problem. help please. thanks

 

Turns out this miracle liquid didn't work?

Have you checked to make sure your tranny fluid is at the correct level?

 

nope liquid didnt work. i think it ranks up there with the tornado and the throtle body spacer.

and yes i checked the fluid level and its where its suppost to be. any other suggestions?

 

well now that ya swelled all you seals may as well get a rebuild...NEVER use Tanny doctor etc, if it isn't shifting you have a problem, ya may have to spend a few hundred on it, but don't ruin it with cheap 10 bottle of crap.

just my .02 [:@][:@]

 

Actually i just had a similar problem on my way to school today. When I went to start up the ol girl this very coldmorning, she kinda whinned and let out a "You want me to do what?" she cranked about a second longer than normal, usually starts right away, but nothin alarming to me because of the cold temperatures we got last night. But when i started heading down the road, overdrive never kicked in, so i thought ok maybe it's still to cold, ill let her warm up. When i got to a major road i put the throttle down a bit more and let er rip, but still no overdrive. so after about 5minsi pulled off on a side road and stopped completely, then took off hoping that overdrive would kick in but a gain same thing. so i pulled over one more time, shut her down and fired her back up. Now I suddenly have overdrive again... any ideas as to why this happened? Should I be alarmed? I just checked the fluid about 4 days ok so it should still be ok...

 

its shifting. i just gotta let up for it to do it. and thats the only spot were it does it is from 2nd to 3rd. i really hope i dont have to spend a couple hundred to fix it.

 

might jsut be a band adjustment if ur lucky!!!

 

Ive been researching this problem, for about 10 months now.

Ive had people tell me links, bad tranny, liquid, flush, ect, blah blah blah...

But i found the anwser...

these 3 things WILL fix your problem.

1. Replace your Govenor Pressure Sensor and Soloniod.
2. Adjust your rear bands
3. Adjust your T.V Cable

Thiswill fix your problerm..

The GPS and Soloniod are about 50$ each ob ebay.
T.V cable fix is free
Band adjustmants is free, but you have to drop the pan so you will need new gaskets and fluid...

 

I have something similar that happens but I will try and adjust the band a bit more first, also does anyone have a problem with a loud ratteling noise when at higher rpm's? It happens only sometimes, I think it is just the exhaust thought but wanted to verify. Once I get over 3-4 thousand it starts to make a rattling/grinding type noise, it's not grinding because well it does it all the time and still runs.. But Would an exhaust leak before the y-pipe cause this?

 

sweet i hope this works. but im kinda blind when it comes to all of this so can ya kinda tell me how to do this and where everything is located. sorry.
