- At a stand-still if I let off the gas, the vehicle moves/pulls away
- At rolling speed, if I take my foot off the gas pedal, the revs hold (slightly drop after a second)
- Transmission shifts fine, no slipping
- 2-1 downshift is much better since new fluid/filter and software. Still present but not as bad
I've read that I should address the TC sooner rather than later to not destroy the rest of the transmission? Most people buy re-man TC or new TC's, and others just buy a completely new transmission. Almost 130k on this transmission. |
If she drives like mine, going with operator error, lol!
I feel your pain on this one. I know I will eventually have to come to the decision on the tranny. Mine isn't bad but it just doesn't feel 100% at times. I hope a flush helps some symptoms but I know it won't go forever. Love the X but just wish there was simple way to get a better tranny and have RWD only.
For the TC I know you can get remans or have yours rebuilt, but few shops are able to effectively do it. The 4.6is has a bigger TC and they are harder to source. The TC would be easier than a whole tranny so may be worth a shot to get a refresh one and see if it helps.
