The other day, on the highway, my tranny slipped when trying to pass. reved like it was in neutral. But then worked fine the rest of the week till yesterday. Going to the dump, it barely made it home. Every gear started slipping like its in neutral. In drive or low, all gears did the same. Slipping in and out of gear. Reverse as well.
Have tranny pan and filter off.
The valve body gasket is torn and pushed out.
Thinking just replace the gasket. But read a lot about valve body issues and something about a plate. Its a 2001 with over 350,000 miles on it. Original tranny. Did change the engine and torque converter at 300,000.
Thoughts on just changing the gasket? looking to replace it in a year or 2 so don't want to do to much to it.
also, any info on pulling off the valve body? Not finding much on the procedure. Dont want to cause more work by doing something fullish if I can help it.
Thanks. Update. Have valve body off. Found a few shreds of copper above it. Am I in trouble?
