48RE Auto Transmission....Revisted

[kickinassrt-10]

To all of you who have auto tranny's and read my few post regarding issues and jerking from the gears, I want you to be informed.......Before I start off I have to give a HUGE thanks to Dusty:congrats: at HTS transmission for opening my eyes and explaining the problems (not just 1) with this 48RE tranny, and ways to fix it....After speaking with Dusty for a good while, these tranny's are NOT suppose to jerk around or make funny movements...it should act snug and tight just like any other normal auto tranny would-shifting smoothly and effortlessly...to all of you who believe that the Selenoid is the culprit, you are right to a limited point, but that is only a quick fix...you are not nailing the real problems...I was opting to buy Dusty's parts to do the tranny upgrade, but then my local tranmission shop (who performed warranty work the 1st time), also knows a great deal about the 48RE and has built several racing types himself, is going to install the necessary upgrades under warranty, thank God.....SO basically all of you with the QC who experienced several funny situations with your tranny's should have them looked at..these are basically timebombs ready to give out at any moment! Dusty offers great packages to help get this transmission running properly with 500+ ponnies and torque behind them.....and the more you drive them the more hell these things are going to give you down the road..LITERALLY

Glad you called Dusty. I told you he would be able to help. And you are right. Anyone with a QC I can pretty much guarantee you that your Trans is a time bomb. The main sign is a delayed shift under WOT from 2-3. It is mainly from the valvebody and crappy shift timing. It also means that most likely the front clutches are smoked. There should not be a delay but instead a firm shift. Dusty's upgrades will fix this, among other things. I only mention it because it is the most obvious and easiest to spot. Another sign is the 2-3-3-2, hunting. Hope this helps.
