Hi All,
My 4R has lost OD or slips so badly it feels like it's not in OD. It's shifted by a Baumann Optishift and it is indicating it has shifted there. the remaining gears shift fine but there is no engine braking in those gears.
I pulled the pan and it's all very clean. Pulled the VB and checked the 3-4 cover for the dreaded broken snap ring but nope, all good. On advice of the trans builder I replaced the shift solenoid, put back together and no difference. Does this mean I have a broken OD band? Or something worse? Trans is only two/three years old so I'm thinking they did something wrong when building it. If I think about it I believe the loss of engine braking occured before the OD fail.
Cheers.
