My girlfriends 93 chevy step-side pickup recently stumbled upon a weird shifting issue that I cannot figure out.
It will shift just fine when the engine is cool and shifts normal no hard shifts or anything. But, once the truck comes up to temperature, it will downshift to first gear and will no longer shift. It still has reverse, neutral, and park but will not shift automatically. I have tried to manually shift it and still nothing.
I just changed the fluid and filter and still have the same issue. The fluid did not look too bad and did not smell burnt so I went ahead and finished.
I cannot seem to find a whole lot about this issue anywhere online so it seems to be fairly rare. When I had to pan off of the trans, I immediately noticed that someone had removed one of the shift solenoids "toward the front of the truck" but has worked just fine before so didn't think it was an issue. I also noticed that the wire tray was broken by one of the bolts. Again, I thought it wasn't a big deal because it just held the wires up off the pan.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found out the solution to this issue? Also, would running some Lucas trans fix help with the problem?
