having issues after changing fluid and filter Just yesterday had my Z28 up on a lift and my uncle and I changed the fluid and the filter in the tranny. Everything seemd ok, no leaks or anything like that. Well, upon taking it out and driving it, when you pull out, it drags sluggishly like it's almost stuck, then skips first gear into second. Tried warming it up, taking it out and about to see if things would free up but no luck. Not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?
did you put the correct amount of fluid back in? my oring is stuck in the tranny so i just dont use a new one every time i change my filter. so unless you have 2 orings or something on there. im sure that either too much or not enough fluid is your problem.
Pull the pan it sounds like you might have damaged or unplugged one of the solenoids when the pan was removed or reinstalled. When you guys change filters I feel it is best to leave the seal in the pump alone. I have seen more bad than good happen when this is replaced. As long as the seal has some resistance on the filter you are ok to leave it alone. Vince
