Slipping Tranny

[flamin_browneye]

When I go around corners or I put it in reverese I seem to lose power to the wheels. I was told that this could happen if there wasn't enought fluid in the tranny, is that right or what else could it be? The tranny is a 700r4.

Hahahaha! nice screen name. LOL!

Check the fluid level. When it is hot, running, and in park.
Maybe a clogged filter or missing one of the orings on the filter pickup tube could cause this?

when a tranny slips, it means your clutches are not locking up, due to fried clutches or lack of pressure. low pressure can be caused by simply low fluid, a clogged filter, or maybe a worn pump or defective seal

about to months ago i changed the filter and gasket. How many o-rings needed to be on there i know for sure there was one on it.

did you remove the old one, they get stuck in the pump and sometimes can be a pain to remove.

if oyu didn't remove the old one, then there is 2 and you didn;t get the filter in all the way and may have cracked the filter when you tightened the pan

No that's why i know there is one on there for sure, because when i was putting the new one in it didn't quite fit. So i pulled it back out and the old o-ring was there with the new one, but i didnt know if you were suppose to have more than one on there.

Not to bash my own tranny, but, every other day there is a "My 700 is toast " type thread in here, i would rip it out, and change it to a 465,later, Jake
