HEY GUYS I AM NEW HERE...
GOT MY 2001 H1 ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO...

HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED WITH FLUID AND STUFF..

BUT SINCE THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM...ATLEAST I THINK SO...

THE TRANSMISSION RUNS STRONG BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT KINDS SLIDES INTO OVERDRIVE TOO QUICKLY..
I MEAN IF I JUMP ON THE FREEWAY AND I CAN FEEL THE GEARS SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND TO 3RD PERFECTLY FINE BUT THE 3RD GEAR IS REALLY SHORT AND KINDA JUST GOES INTO THE OVERDRIVE TOO QUICK AND FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER SINCE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TOO SOON AND COULDNT GET ALL THE POWER OUT OF THE 3RD GEAR...

NOW IF I DOWN SHIFT THE SHIFTER TO "D" WHEN I TAKE OFF AND HOLD IT IN 3RD IT WILL STAY IN 3RD BUT THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN "OD" IT KINDA SLIDES INTO IT..

ANY IDEAS?

IS THERE A RE-PROGRAM OR RE-LEARN PROCEDURE FOR THE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE FLUID WAS CHANGED?

THE FLUID LEVEL IS PERFECT AND DOES NOT GO DOWN ATALL OR NOT ANY LEAKS EITHER...

EMAIL ME AT only_zeek@yahoo.com or just leave a response.

thanks in advance

 

I've got a 2001 and I wouldn't say it does the same thing but I know if I drive around in OD and I'm only doing 35-40 mph it will go into OD so in town and stuff I always drive in 3rd if the rpms stay in the 2000 range. Plus the lower gears helps slow it down and take it easier on the brakes.

I'll pay closer attention to mine tonight and hopefully get back to you later.
