Does anyone have info on this problem? It's a big topic on another forum, but I don't find much here using a search.....
It seems the steel servo pin wears out a groove in the aluminum servo bore, allowing a pressure drop and causing slippage and no-shift into upper gears.
AFAIK, it shows up on the 5R55W models, 2002 and later.
Will this be a future problem with my 2000 5R55E, that I need to lose sleep over?
(By the way, I was one of the first to do the 2-3 shift flare fix on mine at around 50K miles; the trans now has 112K on it with no problems since).
