nickb98c Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Driving home today I noticed that my transmission seemed to be having timing issues. Especially is I stepped on the throttle. It seems to not want to shift until it gets into high rpms. Ill go take it out for a drive so I can give exact rpms when it shifts. It also seemed to pause as it was overreving, and then would shift. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sounds like slipping to me. Does the transmission disengage the gear and then just free-revs up before grabbing the next gear? If that's the case, all other things being equal, sounds to me like the clutchpacks are toast and I am affraid you may be looking at having to replace the transmission. Does it do this in all gears, or just some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb98c Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 No there is no form of slipping what so ever. One source was saying it could be a loose ground in the valve body, or possible wiring issues to the TCU. Im going to check that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb98c Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 To sum it up, it seems like there is a late shift. Especially in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Could be your speed sensor harness going bad, but that would throw a CEL. I've had an issue with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb98c Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 It really only happens when I step on it, and really get going. From a dead stop to maybe 45, it will get into 6200 rpm's with every shift. I am starting to think its normal and I just have never noticed it before.

snow05gtRI Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 yes, if you step on it the car will shift later in the RPM because it thinks you want to run out the gears for some fun driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenNorthLGT Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I notice the same thing now and then. I'm no expert on the trans computer or the 5EAT, but I believe it may take into account how swiftly you press the gas. Instead of easing into the throttle, even if you go 1/2 or 3/4 throttle, it seems to hold the gears longer, namely 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, if you step quickly to 1/2 or 3/4 throttle and hold it there. Just my observations....maybe my trans is just blown up...lol, but it doesn't seem to be slipping at all to me. It just gives you more "go fast"...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ^That's normal behavior and I did not address it because I assumed it was common knowledge. That is how ALL automatic transmissions function, and have been for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you should have diven my old neon...lol...throttle appication had no affect on actual acceleration.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
