So, I went wheelin' today, and all was well. About an hour after that though, as I'm sitting in traffic, my truck starts to idle very rough. Turns out, when I accelerate, my tranny slips in to neutral after second gear. I can accelerate normally in first and second, but I have no gears after that.
And Ideas as to what might be wrong? How can I fix it?

 

Have you checked the trans fluid?

 

Of course. First things first. haha. It works fine in first and second. Goes through those no problem. But as soon as it shifts out of second, its like the truck is in neutral

 

Okay, just making sure. Do you have a flashing O/D light?

 

Yea I do. Only after it stops working though

 

Well next time it starts flashing write down the sequence that it is flashing. It will flash a code. For example if it flashes 8 times then there is a pause then it flashes 3 times, then the code is 83.

 

Really? Is that going to tell me what's going on with it?

 

ya dude...lol i figured out my air bag light dilema lol my code for that is 2-7 and i lucked out theres a how to on how to fix it.....what is your code saying dude

 

I don't know. I guess I didn't get it. It seemed like it just flashed constantly to me

 

yo man i have the same problem, your clutches are gone ur shifting frmo 1st to 3rd and 4th thats all, od light is on cause of slippage, i had mine rebuilt 20,000 miles ago and this happend, i gotta fork out another 1500, this time i am getting the 3 yr warranty....goodluck

 

Nope. It goes 1st 2nd then nothing. I'm not paying 1500 bucks. I'll buy a used one for 500 and put that in if its cheaper than getting in fixed.

 

lmao hows the homework comming along joey lol

 

I have no idea how to do Calculus or Physics...
Well, actually, I haven't even gotten to the Calculus yet...

 

lol i do...but your in sa lol and im not....

 

Ahh shoot. haha.
I'm usually pretty good at physics, but the assignment is online and its just incredibly hard to understand

I think I'm gonna quit. I've 60 out of 100 points on it, and all my other grades are good in that class. Calculus here I come

 

lol good luck man

 

It may not be clutches. It could be a bad solenoid in the valvebody or something along those lines.

 

i was puttin out worse case senerio, i lost 1st and reverse today, gotta drive home in 2nd, truck is hittin the shop friday

 

Why are you wheeling? You're 2wd.

 

^ So?

 

whats wrong with wheelin wiht a 2wd??? im not starting another 2wd vs 4x4 thread but i like wheelin in my truck, and damn proud of it, for what i take mine in it does its job

 

Because I'm a teenager? I'm supposed to be reckless and wheel whatever I have, right?

I'm taking it in this weekend I think. 1200 for a full rebuild, which I hopefully won't have to get done...

 

i got mine back wednesday, pump failed cause of mis-alignment from the last shop thats y o/d went out and started to shread the rest of the gears...good luck i got a 3 yr warranty on it

 

x2

 

Still yet to take it in...
We're getting all the money just so we'll be prepared for the worst...
And if it only costs a couple hundred bucks... Guess who'd getting a new intake :)
