It decreased the tendency of the wheels to slip and allowed the clutch to slip instead. Whatever the reasons, it worked. Feather the clutch in second and you eased off on your way.

Replying to: harvey12 (Aug 03, 2009 7:08 pm) My transmission was rebuilt by a close friend of mine due to the issue I described. He said he has never seen a trans with such low mileage so burned up in all his many years of experience and said the trans was not mounted properly at the factory. Additionally, he said there is a TSB on this issue and that it was corrected in the following year model. I have been working with GM and no shocker to me they don't care which is why I will NEVER buy another GM/Chevy product. Replies to this message: obyone (Aug 04, 2009 1:09 pm)

Dealer says "screw" today after telling me they could find nothing wrong at last couple visits (of course not - problem is intermittent). How do I fix this thing???

We took our 2001 duramax to the shop in the beginning of May, and still haven't gotten it back, now its 4 months later and no one knows whats wrong with it, still! Tranny has been rebuilt 3 times, getting the run around from alaska sales (the chevy dealer up here) and no tranny shops or any shops period other than alaska sales and the original shop that rebuilt it, WILL TOUCH IT. so we're kinda out of options. Have yet to meet anyone who could give any insight on our truck. As far as I know there are a few factory recalls on the 99-02 silverado's so if yall are havin problems with one of those i'd look the recalls up and the symptoms it that part was out or going out and maybe that'll fix your problem. One of the ones that has to do with the tranny is a part in the torque converter and the Park neutral saftey switch also. check it out, maybe it'll help you.

MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO HD ONLY DRIVES IN GEAR 1,2,3. IT I LIKE IT IS NOT ENGAGING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I CAN HEAR TRANSMISSION TURNING BUT TRUCK BARELY MOVES. COULD IT BE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE FOR A SECOND AND HASNT DONE IT AFTER THAT. OTHER THAN THAT IT DRIVES GREAT IN GEAR 1,2,3.
