I should have been more specific in the original post. Chris Sounds like its loosing prime to me and a torque converter is the problem. I've had zero issues and have about 85,000 miles. Fluid level is fine, it's red and smells normal. This information can be found in your owner's manual. Just last night this issue occurred with my 1995 Nissan 200sx. It also happens after only sitting for a few hours.
I changed the transmission fluid at 35,000 and again at about 60,000. It's also warm here right now. You need to let it idle in neutral for a few minutes so that the fluid gets fully circulated through the trans after sitting for so long. It happened a couple days ago after sitting in the parking lot of my office for about 8 hours. The crew cab's larger backseat boasted 39.
It would be another story if it were a 15 year old truck you used just to beat around in during hunting season or to run to the hardware store. It is mostly for heavier towing. Torque converters rely on fluid to work properly, through fluid coupling. It should not be that way period. . If you do not have one, then I suggest you get one.
Occasionally, and by that I mean maybe twice a year, I will start it up cold, put it in reverse and the engine will rev, but the truck will barely move. Transmission service kits are available from your local auto parts store, they … consist of a gasket and filter and sometimes a new seal for the filter. I don't have your set up. What do you want to program? Mine is not the Allison transmission. While I agree with what you guys are saying its not right.
See Checking the Fluid Leve … l on page 5-27. I'm pretty sesitive to this issue, so I took mine back to the dealer. Servicing the transmission at home consists of dropping the trans pan and changing the filter within, replacing the pan with a new gasket some gaskets are reusable and refilling the trans with about 4 to 5 qts of fluid. Thanks again for the reply. I'm thinking I might be slightly hitting the gas before the shifter gets into reverse and the computer knows to take it slow at first, if that makes sense. I've had zero issues and have about 85,000 miles. Like I said, it happens maybe twice a year if that.
Anyone know if a chevy computer does this? It's not a serious problem, it's normal, and it effects any automatic transmission, especially one that has sat for a while. If you just drop it right into drive, the torque converter is dry and has no fluid, and thus nothing to transfer power to the wheels with. You can order one from a dealer, find one at a salvage yard, ebay, or one of these sites:. That's what it feels like. Is this something I need to worry about or get checked? It also happens after only sitting for a few hours. I tow fairly often and keep a close eye on the trans temp gauge and have never seen it climb over about 175 or so.
The Silverado could be had with rear-wheel drive or part-time four-wheel drive with low-range. Let it idle up for about 2 - 3 minutes and it will do just fine. You could have a serious problem. Sounds like its loosing prime to me and a torque converter is the problem. Extended and Crew Cab trims have 4 doors and seat 5-6 while Regular Cab trims have 2 doors and seat 3.
Hopefully it's just the computer protecting the transmission from my eagerness. These front-seat dimensions remained constant in the extended- and crew-cab models. I tow fairly often and keep a close eye on the trans temp gauge and have never seen it climb over about 175 or so. Hopefully it's just the computer protecting the transmission from my eagerness. There are a whole lot of things that can be programmed? I have owned well over 25 vehicles all but 2 with automatic trannys and have only had a similar issue with one, my Dodge 2500 Hemi. Not to mention, engaging the torque converter without any fluid in it causes damage over time. ChrisSounds like he overheated his trying to get out of the hole.
Thanks in advance for the help. Anything from speedometer cause of bigger or smaller tires to the timing, if you change the rear end gear ratio you can program the speedometer. Thanks again for the reply. If you need to o … rder safety airbags do not order them brand new because they are way to expensive. In my auto, the air bag light comes on because the ignition switch is worn and not making good contact.
This could be covered under warranty depending on age and mileage of the car. Do you have an airbag in your steering wheel? The extended cab's rear seat provided passengers with 38. I suggest getting car to a dealer for inspection. Thanks in advance for the help. It happened again a few days ago. Mileage performance in the mid-teens is what you should reasonably expect, though, based on user-reported data.
