08 Tranny Trouble

Tranny is hard to shift from park to drive and back. Has 163K on it. I was told that these tranny are sealed and can't be worked on. Any truth to that. Any feed back?

 

Try to lubricate the neutral safety switch. It's on the passenger side of transmission. I used wd40 and it loosen it right up. There are some people that have an issue with the shifter inside the truck they usually take it apart and do a cleaning or repair if necessary but use the search and you will find both scenarios online.

 

Do you use your parking brake? I've found that that does happen when you don't use it on a steep incline.

 

Check your States statute of limitations, 08 was awhile ago, hopefully time has passed and you can’t be taken to court/charges pressed for your tranny problem.

 

probably needs the trans fluid changed, my auto gets a little clunky going into gear when I change it smoother going into gear

 

Thanks for the tip I'll look into it

 

I don't use my parking brake but i'm not on an incline. Thanks

 

That should not be happening then. I’d get it checked out.
