Hello,
I have a 2001 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 47RE. I’ve owned the truck for about a year now and don’t know much about the transmission. About two weeks ago it started to slip going into second. And now almost any time while in first will start going and then rev up to 1,500 RPM and then “clunk” into gear again, and the same happens going from 1st to 2nd and occasionally reverse. It will act like it’s in Neutral until I rev it and then it jolts into gear. Once the truck gets going and cruising it doesn’t happen until I come to a complete stop and then happens again. There is a small ATF leak, don’t think it’s connected I always have the fluid topped off and don’t really notice a difference. Wondering if this is just the transmission going bad and needs to be rebuilt, or if there are other things I can check first to avoid the cost of a full on rebuild? Any help is appreciated thanks!
