Hi all,
So we took the transmission out of the truck again and tore it all apart, everything is in good shape, the clutch packs, bearings, everything. Realized when we checked over the valve body that the puck had been placed on top of the silver colored valve and spring, so we put the puck in it's proper spot (thanks to Glacier991's valve body diary) and everything is working well and proper again....when cold.....but when warmed up to operating temperature and been driving for a bit, a good 20 mins or so, the 2-3 flare (I think is the name) starts up and it seems to slip out of gear just at cruising speed...50km/h ish, and today it didn't want to change into 2nd gear from 1st gear unless I let my foot off the gas...so the mechanic that did the trans work on my truck knows it's a valve body issue now, but not sure where in the valve body....maybe a solenoid or a bit of debris in the system...not sure....what do you guys think? as I say when cold it seems to run great, but once it's warmed up it like loses pressure....your thoughts??....thanks guys and sorry for the long post :/
