CEarnest Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ok let me start off by saying that ive tried everything from spending hours online to going to the dealership but still cant find a solution. Ok well I just got my SS out of the shop about 3 weeks ago just had the third transmission in a row put in it. My transmission wont go into overdrive and i have the trucool max tranny cooler installed also so idk how but my stock temp gauge says it is going up to close to 300 degrees. I can pull out my dipstick and touch the transmission fluid and it is no where close to being that hot. The only code the truck is throwing is the mass airflow sensor code also. Yesterday while at a stop light I noticed that my truck would not manually shift into first gear. I have not been hard on the truck at all either so i don't know whats going on. I need help immediately on this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Bowtie Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Sounds like you need a new trans temp sensor, that or another trip to the trans shop. Maybe they damaged a wire or left it unplugged accidently?? I would save maybe your shift cable is fraying & in need of a GM replacement or the transmission shift linkage has been bent or mis-aligned by the smae transmission shop....? Good luck.

BLNAWAY Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 your listed as a AWD have you looked or had someone check the T-CASE?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 It could be the stepper motor going out with the Trans temp guage or like said not hooked up right or left unplugged. I had a similar issue with my trans, the dealer replaced it and I still have it slip here and there and get worse. The tech i knew ended up putting the tune from a new silverado to my truck and the problem stopped and never came back. I would also ask if they replaced the entire trans or just the parts that needed it. The right way would be to do the whole trans case and all ready to bolt up. But with the times, dealers alot of times will only replace what needs to be replaced to cut down on costs. I would keep going back until the problme is fixed. You should have a 100,000 mile warranty on the trans. I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 A mass air flow code can cause the trans to shift funny. But, I agree. You have a bad temp sensor, pinched wire, or something like that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Also they may not have adjusted your linkage correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEarnest Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think ive got it narrowed down to bad wiring, bad connector, or the transmission temp gauge motor behind the cluster. If the motor behind the temp gauge has went to crap could that be what is causing all my problems?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEarnest Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 No i havent looked at the t-case yet but i will check that out asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 If the sensor isnt hooked up it wont affect the transmissions working ability. that is another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 On a side note, the 3 times it was in the shop, did they happen to flush the radiator and aux cooler out before installing the new trans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEarnest Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yea I am pretty sure they did but I will check and see if they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 In going from step one on the questions, You've had 3 transmissions put in it or had yours rebuilt 3 times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
