OTher day I was driving home, and I noticed my 94 Z71 felt sluggish, I looked down and it was doing like 35mph, turning like 800 rpms, obviously...not right.
When I went to stop, the tach dropped to like 350, then rose to about 800, then dropped to about 350, then up to about 1500...at which time I was in 1st gear, going about 10mph, and was able to stop.
Its clear, that, in any gear other than 1st, the TCC is locking up. Tapping the brakes and slowing down, does not force a release. the trans is locked 1:1 over 15mph, in any gear other than 1st.
I checked the connections i could find under the truck, all were clean and tight, fluid is/was up to the full line, filter/fluid is only about 6K miles old. Trans was totally rebuilt with a new TC about 15K miles ago.
The shifts seem to come at the right speeds, but its hard ot get a read on it because its like1st....2nd.LOCK....3rd..LOCK....and the engine has a hard time keeping up.
But it shifts at about 15mph t0 2nd, and 25mph to 3rd, I never let it go to 4th for fear of stalling out.
I dropped the pan, and ive ordered a new TCC solenoid...im hoping that fixes it, any other ideas to look for?
