$1,600 rebuilt, 97 F150 4x4-- BUT- when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd @~ 2000rpm's at 30mph it seems to hesitate, like it's not sure what gear to be in. It rev's up alittle then down- (this is with the throttle in a constant position and not jumping on it) When i floor it, it seems fine. Fluid level is fine, any ideas??? could this be engine related?

thanks

What is the rebuilder doing about this?

 

he installed a newly rebuilt trans, not my orginal. He said he'll have my orginal Tranny rebuilt in a few days and swap it out again for "my tranny". any idea what would cause the lack of power in 2nd gear?

thanks

so the rebuild guy is going to rebuild "your original tranny"?? is he charging you more?? if not and he doesnt charge for the reinstall.id say your all set. as long as drive out of there with a good working tranny and some kind of warranty.

 

heres your key word your lookin for before you leave again

"warranty"

 

Yeah, i know it seems like more work right? He's not charging me either...well, i'm not paying him extra, is more like it. Funny thing is- as soon as i mentioned the problem he said he'll be rebuilding mine and re-install the orginal.

 

BTW- 6 month warranty

 

get it in writing.
