Trans Issues

[hemylio]

I have a 2006 base automatic that seems to be having delayed shifts from 1-2 sometimes 2-3. Anyone have any ideas?

Clutches could be worn down. Solenoid issues. A good transmission flush is due

Also maybe some transmission Lucas can be put in to ease the pain

When was your last transmission service?

 

[hemylio]

Car was bought used. I'll be flushing it Sunday at the latest. Called the Chevy and they suggested that. Sucks there's no dipstick.

Gotta love "lifetime" fluids I've changed the "lifetime" fluid twice in my 5 speed with 86k mi.

Damn. I'm hoping there's no internal issues. Although sometimes it sounds like there is.

Boom. I just checked it. Took the screw off the top, looked in and I could see everything and not much fluid. I work late so I'll be adding a quart or two and posting results.

I think max is like 2 quarts. Yeah forgot to mention. On the side of the driver wheel. When u take it off. There will be 2 hex cap plugs. Top and bottom. Bottom is drain. Top is fill/level check.

Might be different for the auto. I'm not so suite about those.

 

[hemylio]

Ok. I'll just fill it til I see fluid. When I looked in, I didn't see any fluid at all.

Keep an eye on it. You may be leaking it.. glad that solved your issues. ^_^

Oh yeah. Also found out the trans pan is skittle damaged so Sunday I'll be replacing it as well as the filter and ALL the fluid in the tranny. Probably doing a small intake mod. Resonator remover and making an intake pipe. This car needs work before it gets a full dip.

Why not supercharge it and ditch the bolt ons?

 

[hemylio]

Not a big fan of it. I just want an all motor tune. Plus how much can stock internals take?

A LOT. Maybe all pistons rods and wrist pins is like 1500?

 

[hemylio]

Wait so if I just bolt on a turbo I don't have to change the internals?
