    not that it wouldnt hurt to adjust,
    but a slipping band would more likely occur when
    the transmission was hot under load.

      Snake Oil

      Have about 50k and 11 years on my 1985 F150 trans rebuild. started similar symptoms. Really bad in cold months. Never a big fan on snake oil fixes but didn't want to spend a lot on that muffler. Put a quart of LUCAS trans additive and immediately cleared all the problems.

      Another thing to look at is the vacuum modulator. I know the C4 had it and I think the C6 did. Will have a vacuum hose on it. Take the hose off and see if fluid is evident showing leakage.

        Yes guys, as of this afternoon it was confirmed that it's a C6 transmission and it turns out one of our own has experience rebuilding transmissions and is going to have a look it it...

        I still don't see how a low mileage transmission that was regularly serviced could be trashed. So while it's out and apart getting whatever new bits it requires, it will also get a shift kit.

        The tranny is eating the money I had budgeted to have the body work done so that will now have to wait until next year. I think I'm cursed to drive ugly trucks...

        If I were better off, I would get a mini or micro van for the business and set my truck aside for restoration...

          why drive a purty truck?

          they get stolen - ugly trucks just get the work done and nobody pays them any mind...

            Disregard anything I might have said. Toilets are obviously a better option.

              bump

              so along this line , I am looking at getting a f250 and supposedly everything under the hood is new or rebuilt , but the tranny sat for a long time , he says its the seals? and they are hardened
