darienms1986 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) So here goes nothing, I am the newest owner of Justin lamannas SS (the one from the awd burnout) and on my way home from work Friday I floored it around a corner and after it shifted to 2nd it was about to shift to 3rd and heard a clunk/bang, and the rpms spiked(redlined). I let off and coasted a bit when I went to give it some throttle again it wouldn't shift 1-2 unless I coaxed it by getting it over 3000 or so RPM's and let off gas completely, it will then shift but I have to do the exact same thing for 2-3. Reverse works perfect, no loud clunks or noises when putting in gear. Also if I try it in 1 on the selector and go to 2 or 3 it does nothing. Anybody have this issuw before or have any ideas of what could be the issue?

Thickcajun Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I figured as much just looking on insight of what broke, trying to educate myselfI hear ya...I'm actually at the trans shop tight now trying to get mine fixed...been totally screwed, what I do know and I hate to say this I don't trust trans guys...you drop it of with a list of things you want done and an idea of want you want that trans to do...you never see it done so there has to be trust...

darienms1986 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah mine got dropped off today, waiting to hear what they find and then I'll go from there. I will say that I absolutely do not trust big chain transmission shops, especially for performance rebuilds. Trust is earned and the only way you can trust a transmission rebuild is if you don't have to go back and have it re-built lol. I've at least got a friend of friend doing mine so it isn't going to break the bank, upgrading hard parts and everything to 4l65e stuff and soft parts will also be upgraded, $600 isn't too shabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianVRss Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Don't let them take you to the bank. It's already got 4l65e hard parts, because it is a 4l65e!

I know his truck has obviously been extensively modified. some of the older members who know that truck more intimately might know what it's got.

darienms1986 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Awesome, wasn't sure if it was upped to the 65e or not. The more I know the more I can ask questions about to the builder. I'm hoping its just soft parts Hopefully some of the older members can chime in!

Fireman31 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Trans builder just called. Need new sunshell. Sounds about right, had the exact same symptoms when my first trans let go. Sun shell was stripped. She's on trans #4 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darienms1986 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 His guess was sunshell after driving it, after he pulled it apart it was the 2-4 band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
