So heres the story, I was pulling my boat the other day, and stopped on a hill. I went to take off from the stop sign and a ungodly shake shook the whole truck. The whole ordeal has had me worried for a while. The engine and trans. both have just under a quarter million miles and i think it needs to be rebuilt the trans. that is . But in order to do that I need to know about the best way to fix it.If it does need to be rebuilt, I've heard that after market/performance torque converters will maximize fuel economy, and help out with towing and doing other fun stuff. Who should I go to to get the rebuild kit and converter, and will any of this help? I appreciate this a lot every one. Thanks!

 

Lucas,
These trannys are very prone to failure under load... If you want pictures to scare you , I have them!

What ever you do, dont leave the truck parked on a hill with weight on it... You'll come back and it wont be there!

Sounds like it could be converter, but its hard to say!

 

I thought air might be getting between the clutches inside the tranny. that was causing it to jump, i know a manual tranny will do that if the clutch is going out in it

 

Transsexuals scare me too…… Oh transmissions my bad.

Doesnt suncoast make gasser parts?

 

The do carry some parts but theres also just a Red alto rebuild kit that can be had pretty cheap with all the upgrades! We also Carry ATI TCI and many of the other brands in summit and jegs!
