Trans started acting funny yesterday on my '02 Tahoe; reverse and drive shifting seems fine, but when in drive and taking off from a dead stop, it seems to hold on to 1st gear for a long time - up toward 4k rpm, then it'll jerk into next gear - oil level checked out good, no excessive odor that I could tell. What I did try was manually shifting beginning with 1st, when I shifted to 2nd it still wouldn't go into second without really increasing the rpm's. I drove around the block a few times playing with the trans and found that if I let off the gas a little around the 2k rpm range, it will slowly shift into the next gear - I say slowly because if I let the gas off the first time, it's a 50/50 chance it shifts into next gear - if it didn't shift, I increased rpm's again to 2k - 3k, let off the gas, sometimes a few tries, then it shifts.
I don't really know which trans I have; I'll check tonight when I get home from work.
I'd appreciate any advice or guidance on this problem.
Thanks everyone!
