#21 of 99 new ownner of 02 rodeo and tranny went out by dkiggins Jul 06, 2007 (7:35 am)
the other day while i was driving i heard a clunking noise that sounded like it came from the back end. now when i put it in drive it doesn't really want to go. the motor revs up like it suppose to but it takes the rodeo a while to start moving and then it only gets up to 25-30 mph. it works fine in reverse. just wondering if it is the tranny or the seal, somebody that the seal went out and it's a common problem on rodeos.

Replying to: delrosr (Jun 29, 2007 6:47 pm) Hey there. I'm having the exact same problem with my 02 rodeo. i called the dealership and asked some questions about the abs. the mechanic is not sure what the problem is. I do remember the transmission smelling hot or burnt fluid. i took it to valvoline to check the fluid and it was over a quart low. helped temporarily now my transmission light is on the car is lurging or slipping nearly everytime i accelerate. im not sure if this helps any but if you find anything out definitely post something.

Replying to: sdanner (Jul 25, 2007 11:02 am) No tranny fluid dipstick on Trooper or Rodeo IIRC. There is an upper plug that you can remove and with tranny warm and running the level of the plug is full. Might need a pump or hose to get the fluid to the fill hole .   Found this in addition on one of the other discussion groups   just make sure the truck has warmed to normal operating temps & you will be perfect. Not screaming hot, not just warmed. Keep in mind that Isuzu states you must be idling in neutral, not park, when checking ATF level. Some AT's dont pump ATF in park, but they do in neutral. Not sure if this is true for the 4L30E, but it's easy enough to do anyway! G/luck
#25 of 99 2001 Isuzu Rodeo shuddering when trying to engage by roxanne32550 Aug 11, 2007 (12:17 pm)
Our 2001 Isuzu Rodeo shudders when starting out. Only does this from a stopped position and not in any other gear or when traveling (at least once you have gotten past 15 to 20 MPH. Someone suggested it might be a torque converter problem in the transmission. Would anyone have a clue of what it would cost to repair/replace a torque converter?

Replying to: roxanne32550 (Aug 11, 2007 12:17 pm) Not sure if you already fixed this problem, but our car has the same issue, and only when starting or stopping....just took it into the shop and was told that the transmission needs to be rebuilt, as something went wrong with the drum, and little pieces of metal got into tranny, was quoted $1,500-2,000. You may want to check the Limited Powertrain warranty with Isuzu to see if your vehicle is covered, which is like 10years/120k miles, shorter window if you're not the original owner. Good luck!
#27 of 99 Re: New owner, Tranny promels I guess [yorkyc] by justjell Aug 22, 2007 (3:21 pm)
Replying to: yorkyc (Jul 02, 2007 8:12 am) Hi. I don't have a rodeo yet but in a few days i plan on owning one. i understand that owning some cars, both new and used can raise questions and doubts. However, you may want to have someone check to see if your cv boots/joints are worn or if your tie rod ends are bad. sometimes the bearings in the halfshaft wear out. I hope that I was able to help you. Good luck.

#30 of 99 Check transmission by demeideros Aug 23, 2007 (8:28 am)
Whenever you start the car it clearly state (CHECK TRANSMISSION) on the dash-board. The impact of this Signal is that the car switches off if you release the accelerator.   Meaning what? Meaning that even when restarting the engine you must press the accelerator other than that it goes off.Befor it goes off it jerks.   When you stop in traffic jam and you release the accelerator and press the brake it goes off systematically.   I have parked the car till I hear from you because I don’t know what to do and I do not want the mechanics to mess wit it.   My truck is IZUZU Rodeo 2000. The vehicle Body is SPORT UTILITY.
