Guys I think My transmission is slipping on second gear. Heres what happens When I hit 2nd it takes like 6 seconds to grab the gear and than it finally struggles to do it. But It does happen everytime. Am I Shit out of luck?
 
i have adjusted mine 10000000 times, and it seems that under very light throttle it's impossible to get it to shift right. these days, I just accellerate a little quicker - or if im in a parking garage or have to go really slow I shift to "1" and it's fine.
 
Call Joe at Westminster trans...a upgraded band is cheap and works great....mine never slipped again....even at over 900rwhp

yep....the 2nd gear band in our trucks is very flexible....it is a bin part and not up to the demands we put on our trucks....Joe at 714-898-0089...will sell you a RIGID band...he also has a 5.0 apply lever and and 2nd gear strut...again all these little bits and pieces are relatively cheap but will hold up....he needs to create a "kit" and sell them to all QC guys....maybe you can set up a GB...?
 
Hey Nowhat Thanks For the awesome info. I guess srt engineers should have been Paying more attention to the transmission. I thought you were suppose to adjust bands at 15 k according to the owners manual??
 
Yeah, I mentioned a band adjustment to my stealership and they said no!

I would be interested in a GB, then a group install!!!

Tony! When's the next time you are coming to Florida!?!?!?
 
Why would your dealership say no? Is it is the manual.

Annu, I would get it adjusted even if I wasn't at 15K miles if it were slipping. I would start with the band adjustment just to see if that takes care of the problem.
