Third gear shift from HELL!!!
Recently I have been encountering a shifting problem when going into third. If I Press on the gas pedal at least 75% the transmission will hesitate for a split second before clunking harshly into third. It's an 01 with 90k. Time for a rebuild or what? Not too mention the 5mph rearend feel while stopping occasionally. Never had another ride with so many little issues.

Dang Justin, sorry to hear. Hope you won't have to change out the tranny.

I'm going to check for leaks and the levels. Have to do a little searching, but are the shifter solenoids accessible without removing the pan? Maybe a fluid change is in order. If all doesn't work I'll just have to follow swissfrank and fix the tranny myself.

have to remove the pan. they work with the valve body. If u get a witing schematic like in the back of the bently u can see what solnoids are there and wiring color.

Don't panic just yet my 2003 4.6is 74000 was doing the same till I had the gearbox oil changed. Valve block in the sump can get a bit clogged with shite. According to a local specialist it's common , it can be other stuff but a box flush is cheaper first also if you can find an indy with the computer reading thing it may show gear slip as a warning.

I Would advise caution using additives in a higher mileage gearbox. Well any gearbox actually as you will be masking a potentially worsening problem that will inevitably bite you in the rear at the most in-opportune moment. The flush and fill may be the better option and ensure you change out the filter but beware that this could also push more crud through the ports and channels in the valve plate than they can handle. Try the basics first. Get someone to scan it and highlight any stored codes then do the soft reset (Throttle pedal down for 30 secs etc) or reset the adaptation values via PC (INPA/GT1/DIS) Speaking from experience it isn't that hard to strip & rebuild the gearbox if you are methodical but is not something to take lightly. However it has really rejuvenated mine and feels like a new car again.

If i take it to the dealership for the transmission fluid change I believe they will enstate me with a two year warranty on service performed. i guess I can tackle the rear diff and transfer case fluid change before hand, but Ill let the pros do the tranny aspect. Is it hard to just take out the valve body and hot tank it?
