Transmission? Electrical?
 

Alright so heres the deal about a week ago i notice that if I accelerate mildy my truck doesnt want to shift to the next gear and it pretty much bogs down. I can even put it to the floor once it starts acting strange and the rps will stay where they are. I am no where near redlining so dont need to worry about that. Once i let off and it shifts to the next gear i get all my power back. If i accelerate lightly it shifts perfectly fine no problems at all.

It only does it if I put it down a little farther. Tried removing the smarty to see if that was it but still the same result. Truck runs great otherwise:humm:

Time to have it adjusted. With over stock power on a 47RE you will kill it in no time. You need to start looking into at least a new TC and VB for your tranny. But to get the most out of it you need to get a completely built tranny.

bands possibley or the shift solonoid might be going bad or the pressure governer might be stopping up in the vb

Its does have a triple disk. Its just weird because if I try giving it more power my won't go up until it shifts. Once it does I have all my power back

another thing is that sometimes going from 1st to 2nd it'll sound like its a manual... Depends how hard i accelerate but it'll sound like I let off to pop in the clutch that I don't have and then it'll shift. Its very strange

If I have time before I go to work I'll record a video of it and post it.

sounds like its hesitating, i would get the bands adjusted asap! also check the tv cable adjustment, might be a sticking cable. and as said above get the seleniods checked out too while you are in there adjusting bands. plus its not a bad idea to throw in at least a shift kit while you are adjusting too!
be carefull with the tripple disc though putting too much power through it and too the stock input is a recipe for disaster!

heres one video......

I'm working on the upload for the second one right now

heres the second one

will it go into overdrive? looks like a limp mode of sorts going on

Yes, it will go into OD, just takes a bit to get there if I get on it. If i don't accelerate very hard everything is normal :argh:

With the stock VB the TQ will not lock up until 4th gear (OD).Well if there is some miles on the transmission a fuild change,band adjustment and VB with new electronics

If I knew that would fix my problem I'd get that for sure...just looking for some more input on it. I do have a triple disk converter I know that. Not sure if the valve body has anything done to it. I bought the truck with the converter not sure if the valve body has been touched.
