Tranny slip??

[el-cid]

What was the outside temperature? I noticed that my H2 would seem to "slip" and act different than our Yukon when it's cold outside and had the dealership check it out. They said they inspected the fluid and it was at the proper level and was in good shape. Then I read the owners manual (novel concept, I know) and it does say that when it's cold outside the transmission will shift differently (I'd imagine it'll slip a bit and rev a bit more before shifting) to get the engine up to temperature quicker so the heater would blow warm quicker. Makes sense to me.

service and do trans cooler bypass mod, wisest mod u could do, and it could be the ignition switch too

thanks for the responses guys....I've scheduled a tranny service, so we'll see if that'll help....i also noticed today when checking the fluid that it was a little overfull (maybe half quart?)...I've been told before if overfilled, it'll cause air bubbles which in turn also can cause slippage....is this true??

not if it's only a half quart overfull . get up under it loosen the bolts holding the pan and let out as much as you need to to get the stick to read full . tighten the pan and drive it . if it still slips (and it will ) that ain't it .

Hell with that!!

Buy 8 ft of plastic hose and siphon it out of the dip stick tube takes all of 5 min and NO mess.

you boys don't like getting dirty I guess. FYI I have seen people get a hose stuck in the dipstick tube B4 . if it were my truck I would drop the pan and see what is in the bottom of the pan and if the filter is dirty or cloged .
