tjblack03ss Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 So Friday night on my way home out of no where my tranny threw out of gear redlined and all 4 tires locked. Thank god I was only going 40 on a back road and didnt flip. So no the question is what could have caused this. My mods are headers, intake, corvette servo, and tune. Anybody have any ideas of what could be my problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjblack03ss Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 By the way it's pretty much pouring fluid out from every place possible Im trying to find out if this is a transmission problem or transfer case the truck has 97k miles on it and was well taken car of by the previous owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03AWDSS Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 what color is the fluid? and if its running is it pouring fluid out? Or can you put it in gear and will it try to move in any gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Not good, sounds like a catastrophic failure of the trans to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synyster_SS Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Take a peek under the truck to see where the fluid is leaking from, that will help you pinpoint whether it's the transmission or the transfer case. If either of those components locked up and punched a hole in the case, sounds like a pretty catastrophic failure. A total rebuild/replacement will be required, disassembly of the component will really be the only way to figure out what let go internally. Good luck!

tjblack03ss Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 The fluid is dark pink it pours out when running in park and when I put it in gear I can feel the it shift but when I step on the gas nothing just revs in every gear reverse, drive, 3, 2, 1. And in neutral the truck won't move like the wheels are still locked even when it was put on the flat bed the tires where just dragging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjblack03ss Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well pinpointed the problem the shell of the transmission is shattered on the driver side just pulled a large piece of it out and there's another big piece and not sure how much is still under there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjblack03ss Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Could the corvette servo have anything to do with why the outer case on my transmission broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I doubt the servo had anything to so with the trans exploding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
