Hi guys, writing 2 U form snowie Russia! :flag:

Got Chevy Suburban 2500 '96 7.4l 4L80E. After transmission overhaul procedure (replaced friction set, bushings set and installed trans-scat kit - all TCI) got strange problem. New heavy duty oil pump spring caused the following situation - 1st to 2nd shifts good, 2nd to 3rd shifts good, and 3rd to 4th shifts s**tty - shifting exists 0.5 second and then transmission goes to condition such neutral one, it does not replay on accel pedal. no service mode, no check engine light, nothing. After speed goes down a bit 3rd shift turns on. and over and over again. Look what i did - i installed old normal duty spring back and got another problem - 1-st to 2nd shifts good and smooth, 2nd to 3rd shifts as follows (solenoid works good and then 2 seconds delay goes on prior shifting - something like short slipping) and 3rd to 4th shifts good and smooth. What is it? 3-rd to 4-th solenoid? oil pump? don't think so. Valve body? why? Help... :cheers:

 

Thanks!

Could be the clutch plates or a bad Valve. I would have the dealer check out that valve. They tend to stick at times and cause ruff shifts.

I've got the same exact problem with my truck. 2000 Chev. Silverado, 3/4 ton ext. cab long bed w/ 6.0 an 4wd. When I got the inspection, it turned out to be the clutch plates sticking. You could smell the trans fluid, and it smelt like something had been sitting on the stove burning. Nothing a driver could do to prevent this. Gotta a Jasper replacement coming with a 3 yr/75000 mi warranty!! Just got to send my old one back. The inspector had also told me he saw the same thing about a month ago on a similar style truck. :dupe:

Huh... the truth is that i don't smell anything, trans fluid is clean and smells good, and the last is that i just overhauled the transmission! new clutch plates and friction bands installed! :smash: And it's too expensive to order new trans here, in Russia...

So, thank U. but i didn't find anything useful...

It may be one or more of the electronic modules in the transmission itself because these trannies work off your vehicles ECM. You never know? :smash:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
