Clogged transmission filter symptoms11/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Is it possible that after it shifted successfully, with no problems going down the hill, that the lack of fluid prevented it from shifting back correctly? I dunno.just an idea. Knowing squat about transmissions, I still have to say that it behaved like a stick shift when you're at a dead stop, on a hill (as we were) and try to get going in 3rd. We called it a day and vowed to ask around and get some input. The only difference between the two drives was the added fluid and vacuum hose. The more gas I gave, the worse it sounded. We end up having to pull it back to the driveway with my neighbor's truck It won't barely move when gas is applied, but idles fine. I slow down to turn it around in a little parking lot, and I go to gas it again and it starts to nning like sh*t, I thought it was metal parts knocking, but Ehren (by FAR the car guy.) said it sounded more like sputters and backfires. It begins to show signs of registering, so we creep down the road nning well, shifts when I get up some speed. SO, now we test the fluid level again, STILL not really registering. It finished strong and pulled back into the driveway without a problem. I say drive.old folks move faster in their Rascals It ran well, but wouldn't shift due to the fact of no vacuum hooked up at that point. Since the engine was cold, we let it warm up some and "drove" it about 50 yards down our little side road. It wouldn't even move when I put it into drive.SO we checked the fluid level, We started by tossing 2.5 quarts in it, and barely registered any fluid. Prior to the first ride, we discovered that more trans fluid had been lost than I had originally believed (as I was installing cooling lines, it repeatedly spitting up when the lines weren't installed, etc etc). He got here at 10am and we busted ass putting in brake lines and fittings, checking the timing and compression, and getting it moving. FINALLY got my 50 on the road today with my old work comrade and fellow HAMBer ModelACitizen.
