HELP Won't shift to 2nd unless off the gas My ol 2002 z28 camaro automatic, won't shift into 2nd unless off the gas , transmission fluid is good and still has color , when it does shift it shifts fine with no clunking. Is this early signs of the transmission going out? Or is there a bad sensor somewhere? Anyone else had similar problems? Any information helps. It's my only vehicle right now |
Need more info like is the shift being commanded and then note happening or is it not being commanded, Where to start depends heavily on knowing this , |
There are no sensors involved. As Frank says, it is best to know if the shift is being commanded. However, since a tune does not change by itself and from the age of the car, I suspect your band is starting to slip. You can check this by pressing in on the servo cover with e.g. a crow bar and estimating how much it moved. 1/16-1/8" is good, 3/16" is marginal and 1/4" is where the band starts to slip. Also check the fluid level which is best done with the engine running. (I find that with the engine off for a while, a fluid level 1" above the "Full" line is a good approximation of being full.) |
