Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 2000 trans trouble

[Missouri Mule]

Friends 2000 3500 (flat bed) auto trans is having trouble shifting into third. Once it gets into third trans is fine. Don't know if it is having trouble down shifting to 2nd. Trans problem or TPS (trans was rebuilt or they bought a rebuilt). Thanks for the help.

TPS changed no problems downshifting to second. Just trouble up shifting to 3rd.

Change gov solenoid and transducer, check front band adjustment. Those are the 2 common problems.

Hey bill, I would adjust the bands and change the solenoids. Upgrade to the Borg Warner pressure solenoid. It is larger and more reliable, my truck was shifting late into 2nd, on my way back from Indiana I had to start letting off for it to shift, I thought I was in for a rebuild. Got home and tightened up bands and wow, what a new truck. If I were you I would try the bands first then do the solenoid and transducer because bands are essentially free if you do it yourself. If you google 47re band adjustment ATS has a great pdf on step by step that will guide you through the process. Hope this helps. Josh
