  2. Transmission Code P08940, Trans Comp Slippage

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    Sounds like a TCC issue to me

     

    But essentially if the PCM sees a 400 rpm slip speed while steady driving it will flag this code which can be a slipping clutch and/or band.

     

    Have you checked the fluid?? As in drop the pan and inspect debris. You can essentially kill two birds with one stone here. Drop the pan and inspect for debris. No debri found, check the TCC solenoid which is located in the pump. Make sure the electronics to the solenoid are intact. If so, remove the solenoid and inspect the tip for cracks and what not.

     

    EDIT: there will be SOME debris in the pan which is fine. Excessive is what you are looking for

     

     

    I have not dropped the pan yet probably this weekend before I can do that, I do have a new TCC solenoid (in hopes that is the problem) ready for when I do drop pan. That was a suggestion from a friend, but the high spikes in the rpms make me think it may be the clutches.

     

    Thanks

  5. Transmission Code P08940, Trans Comp Slippage

    Hey All,

    I do not post much on here but I am on here most days lurking around. I have been searching and found a ton of info on the transmission, and I'm just trying to make sure I check out all possibilities before deciding it's time for a new trans.

     

    Here's what the truck started doing. While in fourth gear holding a steady speed the rpms would swing three to four hundred rpms sometimes as high as seven hundred. It does not do this in any other gear, the fluid level looks good, as well as the fluid itself (serviced less than 20,000 mile ago), the temp never got higher than 200 degrees or so. It then threw code P0894, trans comp slip.

     

    The truck is a 2003 SS with 60,000 miles. List of mods,

    Magnacharger MP112 with a 3.0 pulley

    Volant CAI

    HPM eFans

    Magnaflow muffler

    Dynatech LT with high flow cats

    Zippy shift kit and servos

    Wheatley tune

     

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    welcome fellow texan.

     

    If you are willing to give up duals the Pacesetters will bolt right up to a ORY and a exhaust for a 5.3L...thats what I have done.

     

     

    Sounds like something to look into, what kind of sound do you get out of that set up. I have flowmasters now and like the sound but wouldn't mind getting a better performing muffler.

    welcome to the site...

     

    Few pointers.. check out the for sale forum here.. there are a few superchargers for sale.. and also Performancetrucks.net.

     

    Theres really no point in buying a new one..if you can find a unit with reasonable miles. Keep in mind for the most part you can run 150k Miles on a mp112 before you need to tear it down.. So don't be affraid to buy a used unit.

     

    as far as the headers go.. check out this site..

    Good luck to you sir

    Thanks I looked through the for sale section, I have just had really bad luck buying anything used, a lot of money to be saved though. The pacesetters were one of my top three LT picks, like the dynatechs for bolt in place ease and the high flow cats, although they are pricey.

    Been hanging around in the background doing a lot of reading, and decided to jump in and introduce myself to the forum. This is a first for me on any forum, so be gentle. I bought my arrival blue 03SSS new and have done very little to it, other than an exhaust and a CAI. Well the mod bug has been chewin on me for awhile (since 03) and with only 35k on the truck I have convinced myself it is time. I'm ready for a supercharger, my plans are for a tvs1900 or a mp112, coated dynatech lts, Taylor 409 wires, Ngk plugs, a zippy shift kit and servos and being fairly close to Houston I'm gonna go with Wheatley for the tune.

     

    Now I'm not real Internet saavy, the best price I found for the TVS new is around $5,400 and the 112 $4,900 at superchargersonline.com. The coated dynatechs at jethot.com for$1,600. Do these prices sound good or can I do better? Which blower would be best? Saving money would be great but quality, dependability, and ease of install are worth more to me since everything is going to be installed by me and a very knowledgable buddy.

     

    Any tips, suggestions, or advice will be greatly appreciated, as there seems to be a wealth of knowledge here.

     

    Thanks
