ok, went last night, had a blast on the four wheeler, biggest thing i hit was a deep puddle with the truck, and i mean, it wasnt even that deep. i think it was about 6 inchs deep. drove home, not a problem other then the ussual with the truck. i have a cracked transfer case, but i dont have the front shaft in, and i have had worse broke cases and it not do this. i think i fried another tranny..

fire up the truck, drive, it moves, dont know what gear it is starting in, but it seems to be slipping alot. be driving down the road, it will almost like it goes into neutral. it just straight quits. all gears work, cause you can still get it up to 55-60 if drove right, all gears work. until it quits, only way to get it working again, this is the wierd part.

shut the truck off, sony has their decks so it does the three beeps when you turn the truck off. wait till after that.. about 5-6 secs, start the truck back up, put it back in gear, it will move again, short period of time( im talkin maybe a mile if your lucky) and it quites again, repeat process,, as it gets hotter, you have to shut the truck off for longer. i checked the fluid, still nice birght red, no shavings on the stick..

now keep in mind guys, this is the 3rd tranny, its only got about 5k miles on it. no exaggerating. the only other thing i can say about this tranny, when i put the truck on its side, it ran low on fluid. i didnt move it, i went and took 7 quarts to fill it back up. ever sense, when its cold, fire the truck up,, put in drive, have to start in second gear, unless you pulled down to manual 1st. would do this till it got up to temp and it would work properly. and when it was cold or hot, idle along at about 10- 11 mph, the tranny didnt know what gear it wanted, it would go 1st to 2nd, back to 1st, back to 2nd.. and repeat untill i put it in manual 2nd or 1st, or i got a little bit more speed.

anyone got any ideas? on what it may be i mean. i am going to fix the transfer and see if maybe its that, but i dont think so, i hvae had worse. if not, its going back to another tranny place

 

How's the fluid level now? Also have you checked the TV cable?

 

i checked the fluid, its good, but i dont know about level, i was sitting on a hill when i checked it, but at that time it showed over full.. i could probably recheck it.

but i have not checked the tv cable, i was always told it was bad luck just thinking abotu that thing

 

ok, close to 40 people have looked at this thread and only one response.. WTF?!?! this is one of the reasons i stopped getting on here

 

If people don't have information to add, they aren't going to post. Also, why don't you try posting in MonteC's thread?

 

ALright, if you have a cracked transfer case...IT STILL SPINS WHEN YOU ARE IN 2WD!!!!! so disconnecting the front driveshaft does NOTHING.

If your transfer case is cracked, then you have definitely run it bone dry. You could have actually welded everything together in the transfer case.

My 1996 had a leaky transfer case. i ran it bone dry, then junked the truck. The transfer case will affect how smooth your tranny works because it spons even if you are not in 4WD. Power has to get to the read wheels...and the rear driveshaft is connected to the transfer case tailshaft.

You need a new transfer case. And get one before that seizes up and you blow your tranny.

He doesnt like me.

3rd trans, huh? That sucks. Good luck with your next one.

 

You also need to understand that a "view" can be created by a "guest" and those "guests" are actually adbots scouring the interwebs, trying to post advertisements.

 

monte, i do like you. im sorry i dont get on this forum that much because to be honest, im tired of the same old same threads that everyone see's here. maybe if someone was nice, they could just push me over to your thread cause i didnt know you had yoru own. if you have any advice please help.

and i know about the transfer case. ill post a pic on here later of my first transfer. way worse then on here. and so you know.. little help for you. the transfer is chain drivin, obvious. im sure you know that. the rear drive shaft is a direct drive to the transmission. i disconnect the front drivesahft. there are a set of bearings that will allow the rear to spin without the chain spinning. trust me. been there. done that. the trans on these trucks are the only thing i am not good with. that and ring and pinions. but the tranfer is not the case. if that was. it wouldnt move at all. but it does move for about a 1/4 mile, then it slipps so bad it basicly comes out of gear. then if i turn the truck off. let it sit for a few mins. start it back up, it will move again. metal doesnt cool that fast and unweld.

and squirrels, i know they are just bots, i understand that, but not that many. im sorry if i think its just not right for someone to have an uncommon problem, and noone have an answer to when we all own and drive tehse trucks everyday. if it was me, i would at least post and say, "when you find out let me know, so i can watch out for it" kinda thing.

 

Ah, but, transmissions are 'the great mystery.' Spin one end, and it comes out the other faster, slower, or, the opposite direction! What happens in between is basically black magic. Not a large number of transmission savvy folks here. (nor anywhere else so far as I have seen....)

That said, I am going to take a stab in the dark here...... and you need to keep in mind that I am NOT a trans tech, and I am just basing this off of things I have read right here on this forum.

Ok, disclaimer aside..... I would hazard a guess that the governor pressure solenoid/transducer are getting hot, and crapping out. Those parts cool faster when not in use, and are known troublemakers for us. Might wanna ask your rebuild guy if he re-used them or replaced them, and if replaced, what brand he got, and was that new, or reconditioned.
