god910 Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think I know what the problem is, just wanted to run it past a few of you fellas. Driving you notice NOTHING out of the ordinary, until you come to a stop. After stopping if you sit long enough (5-10 seconds) you can feel a slight clunk, and the car slightly rocks. Acceleration is fine after that... IF you don't wait when you go to accelerate it feels like you're pushing a 71 Buick LeSabre. It drags like a bitch, THEN it releases, lighting up the tires like there is no tomorrow. Now, I know what I HOPE it is, the TCC is partially engaged, causing a psudo-drag. What I'm AFRAID it is, is one of my bands (or worse) is sticking and applying. Possibly my 1st/Rev band? I think I have a tranny book that shows what is applied when. (or does the manual cover transmissions?) I'm gonna try some trans-x and see if that clears it up. Maybe swap out the fluid and filter. Might be forced to do that perf. tranny build sooner than I thought. (MAN, I hate rebuilding autos, a 5 speed is like a puzzle, auto's have alot of stuff that easy to forget ) But at least I have an extra auto TGP tranny here. How about some of those clutches Jeff?

TurboGTU Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 IT does sound like the TCC selinoid is sticking. Does it want to stall when you come to a stop? Well I don't see how reverse band can engage while in D or OD. But The only other thing I see is 3rd clutch pack sticking or 2nd clutch pack sticking (valvebody)..but thats a high unlikely cause.

Jcrow Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 You could try pulling the connector too see if it goes away It happened to me in a grand am and a buick grand am ?(sommerset skylark?) i forget but after pulling the plug it ran fine, It might be different on a W because it checks the tranny to see what gear its in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe2fast Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 pull the plug it is on the front of the tranny drivers side right by the vacuum modulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

god910 Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I think they are all on their way out. Looks like a rebuild is gonna be in the near future (can't drive it without) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
