#42 of 99 Transmission Questions by karjunkie Feb 23, 2008 (3:00 pm)
The Isuzu Rodeo has a GM 4 speed automatic transmission that is problematic. There is no dipstick. You need to put it on the lift and there are 2 plugs one a bit higher than the other. Open the top one and the fluid should be right at that level. If its not you need to fill it till it drips. If it is sluggish or overreving you should open the lower plug and drain, replace the lower plug and refill to the top plug level.
#43 of 99 2002 Isuzu Rodeo, Transmission Slip by kaleosdaddy Mar 12, 2008 (12:22 am)
I have a 02 Isuzu rodeo - auto tran. Today, while driving city streets at 45mph, the trans light started flashing and the car was rough shifting. It continued for 10 minutes (i reached home). After 10 minutes with the engine off and after a restart, the problem was gone and the light stopped flashing. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED???   ALSO, sometimes after putting the suv into park, it slips out of gear and starts to roll. I then have to replace it to drive and back to park then it stays in park.   Please help! Replies to this message: tidester (Mar 12, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: dorenavant (Feb 23, 2008 2:41 am) I have the same Rodeo, started having the same problem last week so I booked it in for a "checkup"...too late! It blew on Wednesday, blew the seals and the 3-4 accumulator went AWOL, mechanic figures it's somewhere on the road. Have to have the whole thing rebuilt now, clutches are burned, new torque converter - everything! I recommend you get this checked immediately. Sorry I didn't have good news for you. But you might be able to save it yet, I don't know. Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (Apr 12, 2008 8:01 am)

Replying to: suebeedoo (Apr 08, 2008 1:12 pm) my experience with the 4L30E transmission during rebuild procedures make sure that they bore and sleeve the 1-2 servo a very common failure point in this particular unit causing slide bump 1-2 shifts after rebuild ESPECIALLY if the 1-2 band was burnt when the unit was dis-assembled for rebuild
#48 of 99 99 Isuzu Amigo by ericemartin Apr 16, 2008 (11:12 am)
I have a 99 Isuzu Amigo (which is now the Rodeo Sport). My local shop ran diagnostics because the "check trans" light was blinking. They got a code of P1843. They didn't know what it meant so I called a dealer. They told me it meant a "torque converter clutch" slippage was detected. What does that mean (he wasn't very clear) and how severe is this? We have almost 100k miles on it so it's probably only worth $3-4K. Fixing this issue sounds like it would require taking the transmission apart which I know isn't cheap. I'm guessing that it would cost at least $2-4K to fix. Is this true? Do I have any other options? We were planning on selling it and buying a new one, but it seems like it will likely be a wash or we'll loose money if we fix it. Should we find someone who will want to part it out?   Thanks, Eric Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (Apr 16, 2008 11:36 am) ericemartin (Apr 16, 2008 11:48 am) quickshift1 (Aug 20, 2008 5:39 am)

Replying to: ericemartin (Apr 16, 2008 11:12 am) according to my mac mentor p1843 is "manufacturer controled transmission" code this unit should not cost over 2k to fix but it all depends on your financing wether you want car payments or repair the car you already have. I might suggest replacing the torque converter from a reputable rebuilder such as transtar who offers a 3 year warranty on thier products and the tcc solenoid at the same time if you are mechanically inclined you could do this yourself. If not pay a local shop to R & R the trans for you and replace the two items i mentioned. As long as the transmission still appears to function correctly replacement of those 2 items should cure your problem and should be under 1k costs Replies to this message: ericemartin (Apr 16, 2008 11:48 am)

Replying to: dorenavant (Feb 23, 2008 2:41 am) I have a 99 Rodeo that had a shift problem between lower gears and noticed every once in awhile it would happen at higher speeds. The shop I took it to replaced the throttle sensor and it stopped. Replies to this message: apinti (Jun 24, 2008 7:57 pm)
