hi all, so i managed to fix all my other issues with this trans and now it’s all good aside from this one issue i don’t know is normal or not, and that’s the fact that when the truck is coasting down from 60 to 50 with no throttle input, the truck shifts fine into 5th no issues. with slight throttle input, sometimes it shifts fine, keeps the converter locked and it doesn’t unlock and make the engine go crazy, and most of the time it just unlocks fully and the engine revs up to 2K (doesn’t go past this) for around 2-3 seconds and then it locks back up and goes into 5th.
i’ve also noticed that it does this in 4th too using the manual gears, for instance, at a constant speed of 55MPH and in 6th gear coasting, shifting it into 5th will result in the trans shifting, and then dropping around 200RPM with no change in throttle input, same goes for when going from 5-4. 4-3, 3-2 and 2-1 don’t slip at all, which is why i’m guessing it’s the PCM ordering a TCC unlock condition.
i’ve dropped the pan, no metal anywhere. i replaced the solenoid pack, no change. i replaced the vb with no change either.
the truck also shifts very very softly when heated up fully occasionally, and after the engine is cranked up while it’s still warm, the trans will bang into gear for the first few shifts, then even itself out. almost like the trans doesn’t know what fluid pressure to operate at.
