Do you need to warm up transmission fluid?

Do you need to warm up transmission fluid?

There really isn’t a reason to warm it up, unless you are in extreme sub-zero temps. Letting the engine idle for a couple minutes should do the trick (that is even a hot debate). If you are experiencing trouble shifting when the trans is cold, it could be an indication of upcoming issues, so get it checked out.

Why does an automatic transmission take so long to shift?

Automatic transmissions are complex machines that work as efficiently as possible to adjust to the driver’s preferred direction and speed. With so many mechanisms and components within the transmission, over time, it’s common for a transmission to experience delays in shifting.

Is it normal to have a shift delay?

Shifting delays are normal in extreme temperature changes, especially bitter cold temperatures. If you notice the delay is absent in warmer temperatures, there’s no need to worry. Avoid revving your engine during shift delays.

What causes a 350 Turbo transmission to shift?

Also check the planetary pinions, the sun gear, and both the front and rear internal gears for tooth damage. Finally, check the condition of the engine’s two motor mounts. If one or both of the motor mounts are damaged, the engine will cause the transmission to shift, which will in turn cause the transmission to produce noise.

Is the GM Turbo 350 a good transmission?

What happens when you reset the transmission shift points?

It is not going to make your shifting abnormal. If your gear shifts are abnormal you have something else going on. Resetting the transmission shift points makes the transmission the same as when the car is out of the factory. Within 30 driving cycles, the ECU will monitor your driving habits and adapt the shifting points to your driving style.

Is the TH350 transmission easy to troubleshoot?

The TH350 is a rugged and durable unit, and fairly simple in construction and operation as far as automatic transmissions are concerned. If you have correctly assembled the unit, and it passed the air checks to the clutch drums through the openings in the case during assembly, any issues should be relatively easy to diagnose and repair.
