Hello, I have recently been noticing a possible problem with my 2003 Silverado (automatic transmission/4 wheel drive system) Z-71. The problem is kind of weird in that the transmission seems to be working harder then normal under normal operating conditions. The truck only has 40,000 miles on it and has really only been used on the highway. It almost seems that the truck isn't driving as smoothly as it once did. Almost as if the front end is ready to lock into 4 wheel drive when only 2 wheel drive is selected. I also had one instance where the transmission seemed to slip back into neutral. I even had a passenger ask if I was dragging something the other day. I have noticed some slight changes in the handling characteristics of this vehicle but nothing that I thought was serious. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Thanks for any assistence. |

Hello, I have a 1996 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. It has a automatic overdrive transmission. I recently had the transmission filter replaced and put about 5 quarts of dexron 3 automatic transmission fluid in it. So I thought that it would shift right but I was wrong. It shifts into first at about 10 mph but when it goes to shift into second (which is suppose to shift at about 30 mph.) it doesn't shift i even had it up to 35-40 mph I would appreciate any advice that anyone can give to me. |

| I have a 2005 silverado ext cab Z71 that makes a clunk noise when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear under a light throttle condition. It dosen't seem to do it when i'm heavy on the throttle. I was told by chevrolet it is caused by a tall second gear and is normal and will not do any harm to the tranny. Has anyone else out there had this problem with their silverado's transmission and had it fixed. Outside of this annoying clunk the tranny shifts fast and tight. | |

I own a 2002 silverado. This morning out of no where I felt my trucks transmission different. As I left for work my transmission felt like it wasnt in the right gear. Asi accelerated from a complete stop the truck would not accelerate with any power until it got to about 25 mph. When I put my truck in 1st gear and 2nd gear manually it felt perfect however when I put it in drive it felt like I had manually put it in 3rd gear and was trying to accelerate from a complete stop. What the hell is going on?!

My current truck is a 2005 chevy silverado with a clunk noise between 2nd and 3rd gear, it doesn't do it all the time but it still annoys me, i'm still trying to gathering info and find out whats causing that, the dealer says its normal. As far as your problem with your 2002 silverado tranny. I had that same problem with my old truck, a 2000 dodge ram. When the weather was real cold out, down in the single digits, the tranny would start out in second gear and had to be shifted manually until it warmed up. Then after the warranty when the tranny started acting up(it would go completely out of gear when it downshifted)dodge didn't love me anymore like they did the day i bought it and it cost me some serious money to get it repaired. It never really worked right after that so i ended up trading it in for the chevy.
