Trans Problem?

jtown888 · March 23, 2009

Ok very frustrated here again. My truck wile going up slight slopes from a stop, when it shifts into seconde and I still have the pedal down still, it feels and sounds like I'm riding a clutch? It's very weird. Anyone else?

Question: When you are climbing up an incline, you hear some grinding when it shifts from 1-2 like a clutch or does it sound more like teeth clashing (out of sync)? I know it sounds like one in the same (and it may be) but I am thinking either torque converter may need some checking or (hope not) the trans gears are eating themselves. Perhaps it is only a driveline characteristic though...take it back and make the dealership ride with you...

I cant really explain it it just sounds like someone is riding the clutch badly for a couple of seconds then kinda kicks and starts going , but its only for a second or so.

Could be simple, could be bad... but it's not normal. Time for a warranty visit.
