46re problem
 

Hey folks. I'm having a little transmission shift problem. Its been going slowly into gear after I let off the gas. So I changed the filter and fluid plus adjusted the bands. Still not shifting correct. Then I unplugged the tranny. Manually it shifts 2 to 3 but no 1st or OD. I'm thinking electronics, solenoids and sensors. Thanks for y'alls input

With the trans unplugged, you won't get O/D, or TCC, that's normal. (as they are purely electronic) You should have the first three gears though.... if you don't, then the problem is mechanical.......

Well that sucks!! So its not an electronic problem? Time for a rebuild or remanufactured

Pretty much. Sorry man.

You could re-test, just to be sure.......

Could one of the bands be too tight?

That's possible......

Torque the adjuster to 72 INCH pounds, then back them off TWO turns. Ignore what the service manual says.

Thanks HeyYou but that's exactly what I did when I adjusted the bands. I've got a reman on the way with a reman torque converter. All I need to do is flush the lines and install. For once I won't try rebuilding myself, should cost me less lol

Well, one would hope that'll fix it. :)

Let us know how it goes. Where did you get your trans from?
