Ok, so last weekend I took the radiator out thinking it was leaking again. Turns out it is the Water pump
Put it all back together and got everything re-filled. Yesterday morning the wife heads out to work and calls me in a panic. The expo is smoking like crazy and will barely drive. She managed to get turned around and get it home.
I get out and crawl under it to see what is going on and discover the driver side transmission line had poped out of the rad. These things click when they are properly engaged, so not sure what happened. So that line was pumping out the tranny fluid the whole time it took her to get home.
I had replace the filter and fluid about 8 months ago. I still have atf in the shed. So in went aproxmatly 7-8 quarts. it goes into reverse and drive fine. The problem is in shifting into 3rd. it just does not go. I have to leave the O/D off so that it dosen't drop out of second when it tries to go into third.
This morning i check the dip stick and it was not registering, so i added 3 more quarts more, to now read at the full mark. I drove it to work and could still not get it to shift into 3rd. 1st and 2nd are fine, as is reverse.
I have 3 more quarts in the back to check it again tonight when I am about to head home.
Any ideas?
