Help me understand this transmission problem
My 2000 Tundra had a issue year or so back where the coolant mixed with the tranny fluid. Anyway I had it flushed several times and it began working normal again. In the interim I bought a rebuilt unit to swap in (I got it dirt cheap) when it eventually failed from the abuse.
Well the other day it started slipping badly at takeoff from a stop. The weird thing is I can manually shift from 1st to second to drive and it operates seemingly fine but in Drive it slips(from a stop or moving slowly). Does this indicate a valve body issue? Why would first operate correctly when the stalk is in first but slip badly when in auto (in first)?
As a side not the tranny I picked up cheap turned out to be a 2WD tranny so I'm searching for a replacement and/or deciding if this one can be fixed easily enough.
