Hey guys, my tranny seems week all of a sudden. I thought maybe it had some mud dried, and packed into the rock guards, and uc.. etc. got it powerwashed, and it seems to still get hotter than usual. I was in mucky situations, but it still was running hotter tranny temp than I thought was normal. coolant temp never got warmer, just tranny. after putting in neutral and idling a few seconds it would cool back down pretty quick. no leaks that I see. fluids look good. it usually will push like crazy in second, but it went sluggish all in a day. third gear wouldn't even get up to speed. it would pull, but not faster than second gear... im going to clean around sprockets, rollers, again tomorrow, and make sure I didn't miss anything. would reduced engine power via dirty filters, etc, cause a tc to run hotter than normal? I was told it might have some adjustments that need made to the tranny periodically? it didn't come with any manuals, I need to get some. coolers are not blocked externally. like I mentioned, it seemed sudden. like something is dragging it down, or runnin reduced capacity..thanks all!
