I am not a mechanic, I have never worked on a transmission before. I need advice and help. A few weeks ago, my transmission started acting up. after it got warm it would only want to start in 2nd gear. If I floored it, first gear would engage, but only then. I had it looked at by aamco, they told me it might be the modulator. That same day, another problem started. While driving in D or OD, and accelerating through the gears, the trans would disengage after 2nd gear, just making the engine rev up like the truck is in neutral. I am losing fluid, somebody told me it is being sucked into the vacuum line that goes to the manifold. What the heck is going on? Is it the modulator? Has anyone heard of this before?
