#123 of 161 Shifts hard from first to second by atxbmw Dec 03, 2008 (9:21 am)
My 2004 Tahoe with 71,000 miles has developed a new trick where it shifts really hard from first to second. It's really asserted itself now that it has cooled off here (the 50's). It shifts fine into 3d and 4th.   Anyone have any insight as to what part might be wearing out. I'd like to be armed with some information prior to contacting dealers (who are looking to maximize revenue in a tough market). Replies to this message: arrie (Dec 04, 2008 12:43 pm)

Replying to: atxbmw (Dec 03, 2008 9:21 am) atxbmw,   I have a '04 Tahoe too with 98 000 miles but have no problems like you describe but there is one thing I would do before taking it to anywhere to have it looked at any deeper - Change the transmission fluid. I had it done at 75 000 miles and I did feel some jerking a couple of times before fluid change.   You might not be at the mileage what service manual calls for fluid change interval but harsh change between gears can be caused by break down of the transmission fluid.   I know it is about $100 but well spend compared to changing transmission or having some other big job done to it when it really just needs new fluid. Make sure they fill it with correct fluid if someone else than the dealer shop does it.   And you are correct, almost any shop, including dealer shops, try to maximize their profit telling people, who do not know better, that they need to service items that they really do not. This is why I would not tell the dealer or other shop about the problem you have when taking it for fluid change. I would just take it in and say you want fluid change because you feel your truck is used under heavier than normal load conditions.   Arrie
#126 of 161 2000 Tahoe Tranny? by BabeTheBlueHoe Dec 10, 2008 (8:05 am)
I just saw this topic and had to post... I bought a used 2000 Tahoe in August and have not had trouble until the past month or so.   I had to even have it towed last night!   I seem to have the tranny slip like other have mentioned. I also have the problem when I'm in a gear, it may not be what gear it reads. For example I was in Drive but it went in Reverse. I put it back in park and went to Drive again. This time it did move forward but very badly and then I too heard a loud bang, similar to a truck that would have a fully locked locker in the rear, only this truck does not have that, just the GM Gov lock or what ever. Then it would move fine forward.   Other times I put it in Reverse but it acts like I'm in neutral.   Last night I put it in Drive and it would hardly move. The RPMs were way high. So again I put it in Park and tried again. Still the same. It seemed like it was trying to pull out in maybe 3 gear.   I have issues too when I'm just driving it feels as though the tranny might be slipping but it will go on to the next gear.   I have not taken it to a dealer...they seem to stuck on their "tech tool". They couldn't figure out the steering box whine on my husbands truck. I could tell them the steering box was bad and that a tech tool was not going to read that.   Any ideas? So far some one mentioned to me a shift module or some thing there?   Thanks!
#127 of 161 1999 Tahoe automatic transfer case by jmaes Feb 04, 2009 (9:00 pm)
I have a 99 tahoe, the button to select either 2H 4L 4H or auto 4WD is suppose to have one of the selections lit up when selcted and stay lit until changed. When I selct 2H it lights for a while then the light go's out and stays out. Is this normal or is there something wrong.

Replying to: jmaes (Feb 04, 2009 9:00 pm) Mine does the same thing, I had my trans rebuilt recently and had the transfer case checked out and the mechanic said everything was good, but didn't mention anything about the lighted switch. so far no problems except for the lighted switch not being a good indicator of what drive mode I am in. So I just left it and I am careful to be aware of whether or not I am in 4wd. If you check it out let me know what you find out please. If it's a cheap switch I think I may change it.

#129 of 161 2005 Tahoe Transmission Question by norm31 Feb 06, 2009 (9:02 pm)
I have a 2005 Tahoe. THe gear shift lever will move through the gears but it remains in park. There is something electronic that is preventing it from actually shifting and I cannot figure out what it is. I have checked the fuses and they all appear to be OK. Any ideas appreciated.

Have checked to make sure the linkage isn't loose or disconnected at the transmission ?

Replying to: dtroit (Feb 05, 2009 7:51 am) According to what I've read in another Tahoe forum is that the switch has a bad solder joint and is prone to this on and off stuff. So I am going to try to either replace the switch or resolder the bad joint on my switch and see what happens. I'll let you know if that works or not.
