DuvalMustangSS Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hey Guys, 04 SS with 175,000 My trans has been giving me problems the last two weeks. When I start the truck, reverse works fine, but when I put it in drive, rpms go up and truck doesnt move. A couple times I put it in reverse again, then drive and it caught,but not every time. Here is crazy part. I can put it in 1 and it drives fine! Only way I could get home is to go from park to 1, then 2, then 3, then drive. If the car stops at a light, I put it back in 1 and start over. I dropped the pan and replaced 6 qts of Dex6 and a new filter. Problem still there. There was not metal lakes or any burned smell in the fluid, just a little dark red. I searched high and low on Youtube and asked everyone I know that has ever used a screw driver, but not luck.If it was a broken gear or band, then there is no way the truck would run is 1, correct? Also, when I put it in drive, it doesnt roll backwards or forwards like if it was in neutral or 1st gear. Strange right!?! Please help!! Any help or ideas before I drop $1,000 to rebuild the trans would be very much apprciated. Thank you for reading this and any help you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSilverado361 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Is it possible the shifter linkage isn't fully putting it into gear? I know you said it doesn't roll backwards, but did all that look good when you were changing the fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
