| Description of the problem | I was driving on the interstate in overdrive and the truck came out of gear and the engine revved high in rpms. I had to turn overdrive off to get the truck to drive in 4th gear. I took the truck to a transmission shop and they explained coolant from the radiator had gotten into the transmission. They exchange the fluid but explained the transmission may need to be rebuilt if a lot of damage has been done. I was able to drive it for a week more shifting normally. I came to a stop at a red light after a week and when pressing the gas the truck would barely creep forward through the intersection. When the truck was turned off it would not crank back up and it is currently in the transmission shop waiting for parts because of a shortage of needed parts due to the pervasiveness of this issue. |
