700r4 transmission won't shift out of low gear and reverse is slipping

  • Anonymous Apr 03, 2011

    Thank you I just bought this truck knowing it had a problem, it was ran low on fluid and slipping when he put fluid in, it just had low gear and the reverse slip. I noticed the fluid is darker than normal also. He said it ran fine on his way to work, (15 mile) slipped bad on his way home, stopped at store for fluid (6 mile), added then home and parked it. It has a small leak around the pan which is why it got low. (gasket I hope)

Take it to a shop where they can change the transmission fluid and filter and also have them do a good flush of the transmission with a special solvent they use. If this doesn't help it may be time for a rebuilt transmission.

Testimonial: "Thank you, I just bought this truck got a good deal knowing it may need a transmission. Any tricks you can think of please help."

    The truck was driven 15 miles to work. Ran fine. On way home it started slipping, stopped added fluid (6 miles) then it wouldn't shift out of low and slipped in reverse. He parked it and hasn't moved since. I drove it to my house 15 miles in low gear. It's leaking a little around the pan (gasket I hope). The fluid is a little dark.

What will make my 05 Dodge Magnum shift the first to second then go into third and it hit reverse

There could be several reasons why your 2005 Dodge Magnum is experiencing problems with shifting from second to third gear and then suddenly hitting reverse, including:
  1. Transmission Fluid Level: Low transmission fluid level can cause erratic shifting, slipping, or stalling in your vehicle. Make sure to check your transmission fluid level and add if necessary.
  2. Shift Solenoid: A faulty shift solenoid can cause problems with shifting in your transmission. The solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid through the valve body, which controls the shifting of gears. If the shift solenoid is failing or has failed, it can cause the transmission to slip, shift erratically, or get stuck in a gear.
  3. Transmission Pump: The transmission pump is responsible for pumping transmission fluid through the transmission and to the torque converter. If the pump is failing, it may not be able to pump fluid properly, leading to problems with shifting and slippage.
  4. Valve Body: The valve body controls the flow of transmission fluid through the transmission and directs the shifting of gears. If the valve body is failing, it can cause the transmission to shift erratically or get stuck in a gear.
  5. Transmission Control Module (TCM): The TCM is responsible for controlling the transmission's shifting and overall performance. If the TCM is failing, it can cause the transmission to shift erratically or get stuck in a gear.
It's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the issue as they will have the necessary tools and expertise to properly diagnose and fix the issue.

I bought a 92 Chev 2500 4X4 from a guy just recently. He said the tranny wont go into gear. I found the transfer case was in neutral. So i put it in gear and away it goes. But reverse seamed sluggish. ...

If your transmission is a 700r4 (4l60) you have a reverse band that engages when you want to go in reverse. since it drives forward your low reverse clutch and your fwd clutch are working. This leaves the band which was probably slipping now is not engaging.

Check the linkage at the transmission. Have somebody move the selector while you watch the linkage move. It might be out of adjustment for reverse, or be binding up.

91 GTA 350 Cannot go in reverse; when I shift, the car 'jumps'

Sounds to me like the valve body is sticking causing the low/reverse clutch pack to stick. Might try a fluid/filter change. If all else fails, at least the 700r4 is a cheap/easy transmission to rebuild.
