With less than 900km (540 miles) it looks like my auto tranny has died!!!!!
Traveling along Trans Canada Highway at 110 km/her (66miles) Herad a clang of metal and tranny skipped briefly and rpms incresed by 300 for about 2 seconds....then heard a vibration in the drive train as if the universal had let go. Checked the driveshaft and universals...all was fine and tight. The nearest dealer was less than a mile away and I nursed my baby into the parking lot...turned the eyes of prospective buyers who were amazed by the low noise level. They were not to impressed to hear the problem I had just encountered.
Called my purchase dealer who is going to foot the bill for a rental....from day one the truck shifted abruptly into drive from nuetral....obviously the tranny was sick from date of conception.
Needless to say my 3 hour drive home to my residence in a mini-van was like attending a furneral but hopefully the baby will be better next week).
With earlier years 47RE trannys....was there a similar MO prior to tranny failure?
Your thoughts, comments sympathies and suggestions would be graetly appreciated.
