| Post subject: | Automatic transmission is not switching gears |
My Automatic automatic transmission is not switching gears. Actually it is not switching from 3rd to 4th gear I think. What happens is that the RPM's go really high after 3rd when trying to switch to 4th and the engine suffers a lot. After a few seconds, it switches but don't know what can be happening here. Actually this is something that happened 2 months ago, and now after using the 4WD just a little bit it started happening again. 4WD was also not working right. it was making a lot of noise and sometimes when switching to 4WD, the gear was not even engaged. Some days. it works ok. Don't know why. The transmission fluid level is ok. What could it be? |

It sounds as if there should be DTC codes. Have you checked? Do you have a CEL? |

I see two possibilities. 1. The OD clutch is burnt up and not engaging. Which would require a complete transmission rebuild or replacement. 2. The solenoid for the OD clutch has failed, not allowing the clutch to be engaged. This is quite a bit easier to deal with because it would only require replacement of the solenoid pack. I recommend consulting a local transmission repair shop for proper diagnosis. |

But why is that it happens sometimes only? It is not happening all the time. I can go for days without this problem. I think it is happening after more than an hour driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

CEL = check engine light DTC = diagnostic trouble codes If the CEL is on, you use a code scanner to read the DTCs. If the problem is intermittent, then it’s probably not a burnt up clutch. More likely an electrical problem. Possibly the solenoid pack. Again, you will need someone who can provide some hands on diagnostics. Or just replace the solenoid pack (and fluid and filters) and hope that fixes it. |

Only weird thing was that the ABS light turned on while I was having this issue. That can be because 2 months ago I destroyed one ABS sensor and replaced with a new one... Replacing the solenoid pack is not replacing the whole transmission box? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
