No Overdrive in 2002 by justanox

I have a 2002 Rodeo 4x4 LS and the servo blew out the side of the transmission housing 18 months ago. I had the dealer replace it, but since then everytime I hit 70mph on the interstate the car lunges forward and the Check transmission light comes on. then the car shifts real hard. after I let it sit for about tweny min the car goes back to "normal". could the servo have been installed wrong and thats why I have no overdrive? This has been an ongoing problem and I'm fed up with dealerships. Do you think I could replace the servo and cover myself?

I'm 99% sure you need a new alternator. Or you have a bad ground(loose or corroded) connection or a broken wire which causes low voltage going to the control module (computer). My cousin had a similar condition on his 94 Rodeo and it was solved by replacing the alternator.
  Check all the ground wires first(alternator to the firewall to begin with).Make sure you get the right one thou. If not, you won't get proper voltage and end up with the same or similar problem.
  Good luck.

1993 Transmission by Cyrix11

I just picked up a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo, 4 wheel drive. It has a 5 speed manual transmission that is slipping. I would like to replace the clutch, but I am uncertain which transmission is in the Rodeo I purchased. Apparently, there are two different 5 speed tranny's for this year Rodeo. It is either the Mm5, or the Mau5c transmission. Does anyone know how to determine which transmission it is, without pulling it? So that I can be prepared when I drop this puppy?

As long as you are certain of the problem being the transsmission and not the clutch itself, it will depend on where you will be getting the replacement tranny. If it will be a dealer Item they will know it by following the VIN# codes. Matter of fact , you can try to ask an Isuzu(or possibly a GM dealer) dealer for the specs . If you are going to get it from the junk yard they will know it as well.
 
   Good Luck.

1999 Rodeo with Automatic Transmission by rodeodriver1

Hi!
 
I've had the Rodeo for nearly 10 years and love it. However, the trasmission is now not shifting smoothly. I assume low fluid or fluid that needs to be replaced.
 
The owner's manual says to replace the fluid every "X" miles. I asssume the dealership has been doing that...............I go to a Honda dealership because there is no Isuzu dealership where I live.
 
The vehicle now has 105K miles on it. I made an appointment for a tune-up and mentioned the transmission problem. When they gave me the keys back saying the work was done they also told me they didn't do the transmission because they don't have the tools. Now I'm assuming the fluid has never been checked or changed...........I'm just a bit on the pisturbed side wishing they had mentioned this 80K miles ago.
 
This has the transmission with no dipstick or easy-access filler port; basically, non-owner check and topoff/change.
 
The shop manual says there is a special tool, a thermometer, for checking the temp of the fluid and that the temp has to be in a certain range for the check to be done properly.
 
The shop manual goes on to say the car should be level and running!!!! So, this appears to be an issue that we can't do by jacking the car up!!!!!
 
Draining the fluid looks straight forward but then you have the filling problem. Again, the car needs to be level so jacking it up to get at the filler port is out of the question.
 
The Honda folks say they have a pump to do the job. I can see where that would be good because the funnel and long hose is going to make a big mess!
 
Any suggestions?
 
Has anyone taken their car to a transmission shop and been able to get the work done?
 
Thanks.
 
Rick
