Common problems & symptoms
Problems and symptoms reported for this transmission, compiled from repair sources. Not a complete list.
!
Forward clutch piston cracking
Early cast-aluminum forward clutch pistons are prone to cracking and leaking pressure, causing the clutch to disengage and the transmission to feel like it's in neutral.
!
Inadequate internal lubrication
Insufficient pressurized lubrication to internal components is a design weakness that leads to premature wear and geartrain failure.
?
Harsh 3-2 downshift with shudder
Vehicle shudders or clunks on the 3-2 downshift, often while accelerating through a turn; frequently linked to aerated fluid from a low fluid level.
