Transmission Jerk, Surge, Clunk shifting to Reverse and Drive
#46
Sorry, I souldn't have posted on [want low end performance] thread. I was just frustrated after I finally got a replacement front sol. and plug in, and my trans. still shifting hard into drive. If theres anyone that has a pic. of a auto. trans out of a 93 SC400 and can ID. the diff. sol. and the jobs they do would really help. The other thread does show a pic of part in question. Hoping one of our members is a transmission rebuilder.

Taking SC400SLIDES lead I bought a new TPS and calibrated it, to no avail. After a year of trying to figure out why my auto. trans. went waky after having my engine and trans. pulled, IM taking it to a trans, shop to see if their diagnostic eqip. can pinpoint the problem.

Got the call from the local trans. shop concerning my transmission whoas. After a test drive and a $100.00 scan from an independant scan master, he told me my line pressure was to high and I would have to get my trans, totally rebuilt for $2700.00. Scan revealed no trans. codes or unconnected devices. I called Lexus dealer to ask about 1-2 shift solenoid and he said their is also a 1-2 lock-up solenoid as well. Would like to know if I can change these by dropping the pan and filter only. And do I prob. only need 1 or both.

Update,, Had my car proff. scanned, for$100.00, no plugs were disconnected. The problem is still high line pressure. The trans pressure is equal to W.O.T. at idle. The local guy said trans. rebuild with new torque converter, $2700.00 So I was referred to a diff. guy that is suppose to be real good. He said he would pull the valve body and clean all pistons for $300. At first he said to try conditioner to see if it would loosen the prob, but no help.

After 3 agonizing months, my trans. specialist finally drives my car and says, I know whats wrong with your car its the torque converter lock-up sol. Remember the last guy wanted to install new trans. for $2700. My rebuilder is ordering the sol. and says he'll install it on monday. We'll see..

Sorry took so long, just got back Thurs. night. So it was a torque converter valve. The guy said it was a lanier type valve. So now it goes into drive 90% better, shifts the upper gaers at proper intervals, and does not jerk when coming to a stop. Is still holding first gear when cold but not hot until 22 mph. Cost installed,$400.00
