My rebuilt tranny on my 05 GC SXT (which is now out of warranty)
Now that it has gotten colder, when the car sits( after work) it wil not go into reverse. If I rev the engine, let it return to idle it goes into R just fine and works like new. It shifts fine- works great
Fluid only has 14k on it, level is perfect.
Any ideas?
The tranny shop that did the rebuild is hopless- going back is not an option
Are you sure they used ATF-4 ? Why was the trans rebuilt? A catastrophic failure could leave particles and chunks of things floating around. Maybe something is hung in the valve body. But I'd start with the fluid and a filter.
they claimed they used atf 4+.- don't trust them for anything but they do a huge volume. They have a good rep- don't know how..
At any rate- the solenoid pack is now leaking at the gasket. For $100 I will install a new solenoid pack since I need to replace the gasket any way. Any difference btwn Borg Warner & Dorman? I can't find any info on Dorman.
yes- fluid looks good and is only 14k old. Ordered a BW solenoid- $99 delivered to my door. I'll give it a try. I will take the old one apart- see if any screens are clogged.
The only possibility of a wrong gasket will be if they got a gasket for the pre 2000 solenoids that used a separator plate. It will leak if that is the case.
