Default Rebuilt Trans. Question.

OK i just got my trans rebuilt with a shift kit. Only thing wrong is that it seems "sticky" once i put it in drive it hesitates to go. Like once i put it in Drive, it will go and everything, just its a lil sticky and jerky getting going (for a split sec), nothing major but idk should i have them check it out, or is it normal or what?

it may need a little break in period after about 10 miles if it still does it i would take it in....depending on the lube used sometimes takes a while for the shift valves to free up and check ***** to loosen up

At the time of delivery, after rebuilding any transmission we ask our customers to bring the vehicle back in for an inspection after a week or two of driving... we find out very quick which of our customers care about their investment... during that inspection we discuss concerns like yours. I am sure the guys who did your work will be happy to take a look at it. And if you have any questions, they will address those concerns.

Check the fluid level, drive it a few days and if it has not changed then give them a call.
