Hi Guys:
When I went to town this morning I noticed the tranny, 4L60E, seemed to be shifting softly and later than it was when I took my wife to work 2 hours earlier.
I checked the fluid and it is red and didn't smell burned. The tranny pulls into Drive from Neutral with its usual satisfying clunk but then seems to be softer on the take off and feels like it is reving a little higher at a given speed than it did.
This is the second tranny in the car. It was build by a very reputable shop and has run beautifully with a custom 2100 stall HD convertor. The oem tranny went out at 65K kms and pretty much destroyed everything but the case and the valve body. This tranny has about 90K kms on it as has been running just fine until this morning. I took the car to Ottawa last week (2000 km round trip) and there was nary a problem.
I'll be dropping the pan this weekend to see if there is crap in it but first off:
Are there any other things that I can look for that could cause the tranny to suddenly start to shift softer (not exactly a rolling shift but close) and later? Like maybe the TPS or a temp sensor malfunctioning.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanx guys, Stewart
