2002 sport trac 2wd job 2 I believe 103k - trains rebuilt some time
Ago 2500 fix. Prior to this issue had a 2/3 shift flare
Fighting a three week battle with the O/D light flashing. Started while on the interstate the tranny downshifted and freaked out. I call it hunting for gears, shifted through all fine but would freak out time to time. Average speed was above 60+ the first time. City driving was okay but after a few minutes of driving or when it would see 5th it would freak out.
Codes pulled were torque converter spinning faster then detected, sylnoids for 5th bad. That's what my mechanic said. His advice was to purchase a complete valve body with servos. DONE
new filter,fluid,and updated transgo valve body with sylnoids later my trac is still freaking out. Mechanic is now saying I need to buy a converter and try that.
Before I bite the bullet and spend more money trying to escape the rebuilt cost ,dose that sound like a sound and plan?
-drives fine and sees all gears ,but when it reaches 5thi it freaks out and flashes the O/D light. BUT still goes into over drive here and there.
Anyone have any suggestions or should I cut my losses, part it out and get a Tacoma?
