Ha, ha... somehow I got throttle out of that... seemed odd O.o

So it seems I need to drop my tranny? I've replaced a couple transmissions, but never torn one apart. How involved are we talking?

If the valve body IS wore, are we talking replacement? Just the body or the whole tranny?

What should my next action be? Would I be better off taking it down to my transmission guy and having him check it out?

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks!

Before you do anything, have a professional assess the situation.

If you do end up dropping and taking this transmission apart, remove and inspect the parking pawl rod. Not a job you want to have to do again later.

Ok, had my transmission guy take a look this morning. He says the TCC is working fine, just like it'* supposed to. So, I need some clarification.

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere here that when your TCC engages, your RPM'* at 55 MPH would be around 1.5k. Mine sit at more like 2k, and my mech says that'* what it'* supposed to be. So which is correct?

This guy has always done good work for me before, is he right? Not sure what to think here, at a bit of a loss.

Thanks!

It will depend on your gear ratio. 1.5k to 2k is right depending on if you have 2.93 or 3.29

Try this, get up to speed, 55 mph. Then hold your foot on the gas and then press the brake. If your RPMs don't go up about 500 RPM, the TC is not locking.
