#256 of 319 transmission/battery by asprin1

Nov 02, 2010 (4:30 pm)

I'm driving a Chevy s10 2001 automatic. A while back (about 2 months) my gears were slipping, every time the car should have been shifting, it stayed in gear and no matter if i floored it, the car would barely go faster until it suddenly kicked into the next gear. I took it to a transmission shop, but somehow when I was talking to the worker, the battery came loose. It must have reset something, because when he took it for the test drive, the car was back to normal- no problems.
 
BUT, it just started doing it again today. What is the problem here? Can I just disconnect the battery and it will be fine for awhile or is there a bigger issue i should look at?

I would try a new battery, sometimes they do weird thing to computers.

I changed the fork and bearing on my just bought 94 sonoma 2.2 5spd t-5 it just had a clutch and engine replaced when I bought it the fork is vibrating a bit sounds and feels like bearing is in contact with pressure plate dont understand why actuator also is spring loaded which would push fork forward a bit there is nothing to keep fork pulled back a bit to prevent this?? afraid I will burn up bearing as it is constantly spinning tried bleeding it no help noise goes away if I remove actuator while engine running and goes away if I rest foot on clutch pedal shifting is fine clutch is smooth what have I done wrong????

I have a 98 s10 truck 4 cylinder 5 speed, every now and then when i shift it into 4th gear it wants to pop out of gear, what could be the pro blem? is it a easy fix? a part that needs replaced or something more serious?

your popping out of gear problem is caused by one of two things shifter adjustment or a worn slider, since this is not a muncie transmission It sounds like a worn slider which is an intergal part of the transmission it locks the gear onto the shaft so the transmission needs to be pulled apart and most likly you may need a few other things, sorry for the good news.

try having the slave cylinder bled, it could also be a bad clutch cylinder or slave cylinder

My best guess is the noise is coming from your front axle, my truck used to do this also. Try replacing the transfer case switch (it has 3 vaccum hoses coming out of it and is located all the way on top of the transfer case only costs about $15 at a parts store). If the noise continues it could be a number of things in the right front axle tube (this is where the 4wd engauges and disengauges). If this has been a problem for a long period of time i would say that it is a combination of both problems as my truck has proved.

#264 of 319 94 s10 zr2 tranny slipping by drew_budr

Nov 18, 2010 (10:26 pm)

I'm gonna be working on my friends 94 s10 zr2, problem is i'm not sure what kind of transmission it has. Somebody put an engine out of a 93 blazer in it and it seems to shift more like a 700r4 but it is supposed to have the 4l60e. My friend says when he drives, it shifts into overdrive but as soon as he pulls a hill it will start reving so he shifts it down to 3rd and when he hits a flat it will go back into overdrive without a problem. He wants to replace the transmission but is there any other solution to this problem (perhaps replacing a few parts).
