Archived transmission probs

[poolguy]

My transmission is "bucking" when it goes into lock-up in overdrive. Been doing it minimally for a little while but just recently got much worse and is now slipping a little when I give it the gas in od... ... ... rpm and mph both increase but rpm increases faster than mph. "Bucking" stops when I accelerate. Need to tow my fifth wheel about 150 miles but am afraid to hook it up. Any help greatly appreciated. Band adjustment????????

Need more info. What year? How many miles? Mods? Please fill out the member signature.



Some of these ('94-95's) buck when they lockup.



It's probably not the bands, more likely the T/C slippping from low pressure, old/bad fluid, high miles or too much torque (mods).



A quick thing to check (which sounds most likely but also unusual): is the trans "kickdown" cable connected? If it was disconnected (or broken or out of adjustment) it could cause the problems you describe.



I wouldn't tow until you know what's causing this.
