unique problem, suction on dipstick tube

[Kshahan]

sold a gentleman a jasper rebuilt trans we pulled out of a truck with a bad motor, he says it slips in 1st and reverse, and all other gears work fine, im told it could be a cracked filter, any other possible causes?

I don't understand.....

 

[Kshahan]

he says it slips in first and reverse, and has suction on the dipstick

Trans could be toast too.

Its probably not suction on the dipstick its probably the little rubber gasket catching on the tube. and the slipping is probably just worn clutch packs.

Cover the dipstick tube with your thumb and see if has suction. If it does idk whats wrong but its probably not a good thing lol

Just cuz the previous motor was blown doesn't mean the trans is good.

 

[Kshahan]

he says it does, my trans guy says a cracked filter will do that.

and i agree, trans was pulled when we bought truck, we were told it was good motor was bad, its a jasper rebuild with 55k ish miles on it

 

[Justin S]

Then tell him to change the filter?
