Help -th400 slipping in D engages in 1&2
The drivetrain sat for about 2 years during our resto. Got her running last month and ran great but leaks at the pan. I kept adding tranny fluid until I could change the pan seal, but two days ago it stopped engaging in Drive. It did work in 1 and 2. I changed the seal/filter and refilled fluid, still same problem. Slips badly in Drive but will catch in 1 or 2. Before I go to the transmission guy tomorrow, I thought I would go to you guys for suggestions.
Thanks, Rou Last edited by rou; 11-06-2013 at 09:59 PM. |

Go to the transmission guy tomorrow.
I'm no expert but in my limited experience, regardless of the initial cause, once a transmission "slips badly in Drive" it is toast. If it just isn't shifting up, then that could be an easy fix, but if the 2-3 shift results in slippage, it is done imo.
