Description of the problem | 1. Stops or misses gears on upshift when accelerating. This occurs frequently, and is most apparent when towing/merging into faster traffic, or traveling up an incline. This slip causes the engine to rev into the very high rpms. The last time this occurred, a belt broke and caused the loss of steering in the truck. 2. Shift indicator on the dash does not display indicator when in d drive position. The indicator is lost between neutral and drive positions. 3. Noticeable vibration in the gas pedal when driving in certain speed ranges. It is most noticeable when accelerating between 30 to 40 and 60 to 70. 4. Vibration noise can be heard and can be felt in the gas pedal. This is a recent development ( since nov, 1998 ). *ak |
