    tranny slipping?

    I have never had this problem so i dont know what exactly this is but im guessing my tranny is slipping. i go to Drive and i give it gas and it just revves like its in Neutral so i go back to park and into Drive again and then it catches and it goes...anyone care to help? i know its a noob question but i dont have much experience with this one haha as all my vehicles before this one have been standard. and anyone care to quote me a price on a 4L80e?

    A Tru-Trac has nothing to do with the tranny. Nothing.

    Is that even a serous question? Trans man trans. true trac wont get you were you need to go, a trans will.

    neither a trans nor a truetrac will gain you speed. First thing first, park it on level ground and check your trans fluid level with the engine warm, idling and in park. Be sure its up to the full level.

    +1. make sure the fluid isn't burnt as well. If the level is full... Go ahead and change fluid and the trans filter. If your clutches are burnt U will see the remnants in the pan. For what ubhave done you will need to have some major upgrades done to constitute a 4l80e swap. A decently build 4l60e would carry u a long way.

    Thanks guys but I got a tru trac with 4:30s AND a 80e for about $1650...I'm having a hard time saying what I need to say. I have the internals for a 408 stroker new sitting in my garage is why I wanted a 80e and not a 60. Now all all I need is to find an awesome block to make the 408

    Not exactly sure...on occasion it doesn't grab the gear like it should. But put it back in park and then try again and put it back in drive...then it catches and then the truck moves.
