Transmission Slipping P0894

[rockola1971]

The trans has less than 15k miles, I flushed it and gonna see what it does now.

Its gonna die. They dont heal themselves. That band is for 2nd and 4th. (2-4 band is what its called). What will happen is you will notice it rev up normally in 1st after starting from a dead stop and then when it comes time for 2nd gear it wont be there and engine will rev and then eventually shift to 3rd. 4th gear will never be there either. Something bad happened. Ive never seen a tranny with 15k with that kind of damage to the 2-4 band. Heck ive never seen that on a 2-4 band with 300k on it. That looks like a manufacture defect or the rebuilder used a dished (worn) sunshell which is what the band squeezes ahold of.

Hmmm....how soon do you think it will die? Like 500 miles, 5K, 50K? I figured the coolant in the transmission is the culprit of why it came apart.

The coolant could very well be the cause of the 2-4 band material coming apart. There really is no way to tell how long the tranny has before it dies. I can tell you that the reverse steels will dish like a frisbee from getting too hot and you will then lose reverse. After that happens it wont be much longer before that tranny is done.

Did you end up using this trans ? How was it

 

[latvius]

No, I had a local guy rebuild it.

No, I had a local guy rebuild it.

Was the 2/4 band bad? Did you bypass the radiator?

 

[latvius]

I dont remember for sure and yes once I figured out the rad was leaking I replaced it and bypassed
