Check Engine no 5th gear
I have a 2000 Blazed 166k v6 and yesterday i was driving on hwy on cruise control then all of a sudden RPM's go from 1900 to 2600 and check engine light came on. all other gears work fine 1 2 3 r p all work. But when i get on Hwy it wont go into the last gear. I am taking it to get codes read today but wanted to know if anyone knows what this might be before i go and get this done. Trans fluid is good and red.
Thank you in advance C |
There is no 5th gear in the automatic transmissions. Do you mean 4th?

We have lives too... Patience is a virtue!
The troubleshooting chart for no 4th gear or slips in 4th states a mis-placed check ball or an improperly installed orifice plug. Since it doesn't appear that you have recently done any work on your transmission, I would say that you may have a worn separator plate that has allowed a check ball to drop through or leak excessively. Here is a quote from HotRodders.com for a "no 4th gear" question: You may have a worn out 2-4 band. A check of the servo cover travel with a pry bar would indicate that to a knowledgeable trans person. The servo is a multi-stage unit... 2nd gear can function fine , yet 4th gear will not hold power since a different section of the servo applies the band in 4th gear. there could be a broken , cracked accumulator piston for 4th gear... a worn, scored up bore of the 3-4 accumulator. Hope this helps. Next time, try not to direct your frustrations with your vehicle towards those that may be trying to help... |
