Just receintly when i put it in reverse my tranny shutters and it feels like it is slipping. What going on?

 

[fordkiller43]

might wanna try a band adjustment

not sure how it works with the 3rg gen 48re but on my 2nd gen 47re i had the same issue and i readjusted the band and all was good

hope this helps man

 

[greatwhitehope]

so who knows about 03 trannys? Do i have bands that need adjusting or is it getting ready to blow up?

Could be the rear band, could be the direct clutch pack, coul be an accumulator seal leaking, could be a combination of the previous.

Couple that with your temp problems I'd hazard a gues you have some internal problems.

If your luck is like mine, it will go BOOM when you least expect it.

CRAP!!!! Guess i should look into a gorend or HTS then.

I vote for the Georend. From what dave said while troubleshooting a trans problem I had, the reverse pressure is like 3-4 times higher than first gear to keep the clutches from slipping with the high gear ratio. when you get a shuddering in reverse it is typically the result of not getting enough pressure to the clutches to keep them engaged (read bad pump or pressure control circuit).

had the same problem with my 05 it was the transmission losing prime is what the dealer said due to the transmission filter it only happened when it sat for overnight or a couple of hours at work

Yea I seem to be having the same problem with my tranny...WTF.

The "losing Prime" thing you refer to is the fluid draining out of the torque converter. there is supposed to be a check valve in the valve body somewhere that allows the fluid to stay in the torque converter so it doesn't run it dry when you fire it over. My gasser did it for a while after a rebuild was installed and it failed in a pretty short time afterward. Thank god for the warranty on that.

This converter drain will make likea sloshing noise when the truck is first started if that is what you are hearing

This problem is the check valve in the cooler line not holding fluid after it sits for a bit. A simple valve change in the VB will cure it, or, place the transmission in neutral for a minute or so before taking off. If it works fine your problem is not serious.

The problem the original poster is talking about sounds like a more in depth one. He has shuddering also in reverse which is not a good thing, plus temps that are little higher than normal.

so i seem to be haveing this problem to what is the solution?
