Replying to: ftrflexo (Oct 25, 2009 7:17 am) Well, never mind about the salvage parts. Sounds beyond repair. I wonder what's going on? My 2002 Axiom looks fine underneath here in salty Wisconsin. Roads are really well salted here all winter so I don't know why my Axiom seems OK with 120,000 miles on it. Any conjectures?   Regards Bert Replies to this message: ftrflexo (Oct 26, 2009 1:50 pm)

I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears, I will let you know how I make out Thanks

#201 of 203 Another Failed Transmission...........2002 Axiom by bertbcfm Nov 21, 2009 (8:04 am)
108,000 miles and the trans was jinking around slightly then started to slip going from 2nd to 3rd. This was Friday late afternoon so I called the dealer on Monday. And drove in Tuesday AM. Almost didn't make it. Lost all drive line connection and had to pull over. I waited 5 minutes and it drove just fine so I made it to the dealer. Will get free new (not refurb) transmission. Also my gas gauge sending unit had failed and I dreaded replacing it but I found out that was also covered under the 125,000 mile drive-train warranty. I'm the original owner so I'm happy, but wondering what's going to go next. Still think the 4L30E transmission is a good transmission, perhaps it's how it is utilized in the Axiom with the TOD. Cadillac, BMW, Chevy, and Postal service trucks don't seem to have the trans issues with the 4L30E. Anyway I'd thought I'd let you all know the bad - good news.   Bert Replies to this message: walk_the_walk2 (Nov 21, 2009 9:14 am) bertbcfm (Nov 21, 2009 6:50 pm)

Replying to: bertbcfm (Nov 21, 2009 8:04 am) Sorry to hear that Bert. You have taken such good care of your Axiom, too. Great to know that the dealer covered it under warranty. They must be pretty reputable. Not sure every dealer would be so easy to work with.   Question for you: Have you ever had to service your tranny in the past? Did you run it on stock fluid or synthetic? Did you ever have any leaks on the modulator? Is your Axiom a 4WD or 2WD? Replies to this message: bertbcfm (Nov 21, 2009 6:50 pm)

Replying to: walk_the_walk2 (Nov 21, 2009 9:14 am) The only service was the pressure modulator seal and that was repaired at no cost. It was sort of a Isuzu transmission recall. I've only had the trans oil changed twice (stock fluid) at about 40K and 70K so this failure came out of nowhere. The Axiom is the TOD 4 wheel full time drive. After changing the shocks and tires I've finally enjoyed driving the car and it has always be really good in the snow, mud and ice. If it makes it to 150K I'm thinking of removing the body from the drivers door back, putting on a small flat bed, putting on small tractor tires and using it as a tractor. Did this with the old square Trooper years ago for a friend and it's the best tractor he has ever had.   Regards Bert
