I've got a 97 ecsb Sierra with the 5.7 vortec and an auto transmission that I just bought less than a month ago. I was told it had a rebuilt transmission and that was the only thing that really worried me about the truck. Anyways I've had very few problems out of it until today. I've noticed that the transmission will slip just a very little bit from 1st to second sometimes but today after about a 45 minute drive it started acting up on the interstate. I would give it gas and it would rev a little bit but it wouldn't go any faster. After I got to the shopping cente and was driving around a little slower I would give it has and it would rev up and all of a sudden kick forward. It's almost like the torque convertor isn't working correctly? Anyways I limped it home an had that great burning smell that everyone always loves to smell. On my way home I tried to manually shift down to first and second and third to see exactly which gear it was and the damn linkage came undone. So as of right now it's sitting in my drive way in second gear with blocks behind the tires bc the emergency brake doesn't work either!
Never should of gotten rid of my ford!!
Anyways what do you guys think? Is the transmission toast? First gear doesn't really wanna work at all. I'm going to crawl up under it in the morning and put the linkage back on and see what's up but wanted to see what else I should check. Also I checked the fluid and its fine..
