Re: Turbo 350 NP205 Leak

To follow up, can the leakage problem from Turbo 350 to transfer case also cause downshift problems in the tranny? Admittedly, my trans fluid level got low before I found that it was leaking into the transfer case. But now my transmission won't downshift to first gear at a stop sign. Otherwise, it shifts fine - either manually or if when stopped, I move the lever to first and then back to drive prior to pulling away from the stop sign. I pulled the pan and valve body, and found a very small amount of metal dust (we did a rebuild just a year ago) in the pan and everything in the valve body worked OK. We replaced the detent cable, and even tried adjusting it all the way in. Can there be a pressure issue, whereby not enough pressure (due to bad seals) that the tranny won't downshift?
