help my truck just started shifting weird from first to second. when it shifts from first it kind of hunts for second. all shifts seem a little softer than usual. my transmission has a presision triple lock converter and the new trans go shift kit. the trans has 26,000 miles on it and has had a p 1740 code for the last 6 months but has operated normally with the code.

any help would be greatly appreciated

thank's

dunno what to say....my stock tranny almost always hunts for gears when i push the pedal to the metal...

 

Mine is in the shop for that now, and its the valve body at 31000 miles all stock.

 

this is doing it at a normal driving acceleration not as much at full throttle.

Normal excelleration is when the hunting usually occures. WOT the transmission knows where to be.

The best advice would be to call your installer and see what they think. I know it's not much help and not what your looking for but they are the most qualified at this point.

 

I just got my truck back from dealer. They are claiming that they are having trouble with the bands on second gear. They took 2nd gear band out and replaced with a new one. The truck was only down for a day. My truck now shifts better and it seems that the fuel mileage has gone up a little on my city driving.

 

thank's for the info. the second gear bands is one of the things we are going to look at hopfully tomorrow, we are also suspecting some thing in the valve body.

Its going to be the band. Ofcourse while you are in their check all the bands. They had to adjust reverse too
