Questioni have many new parts on it but it runs good in drive but if i put it in revers it chugs and dies what could it be thanks
AnswerHi Mark,
Sounds like the TCCS for the reverse is giving up. There is a solenoid inside the transmission valve body that redirects flow away from the lock-up during reverse operation. Yours is apparently leaking. Changing out the solenoid is the cure, but you may as well have the unit rebuild for what you'll pay to change out those solenoids.
Could also be a bad reverse band actuator too, but that would usually cause no reverse or stall as soon as reverse is selected.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
