second gear slipping

[dwardtxusa]

My max has started slipping in second gear when I get on the gas. If I'm not gunning it no problem. Only second. Any thoughts?

sounds like the dogs are worn down. talk to morley about options, none are cheap or pretty unfortunately.

what yr and how many miles?

 

[dwardtxusa]

2006 7000 miles oil changed every 1500 miles, pumpkin too.

Loss of traction maybe? It's like the clutch is slipping? Or is it popping out of gear ?

wow an 06 having a tranny problem? now im scared.

That sucks! It may very well be the gear dogs worn if it's getting a full engagement during the shift and no other gears are having issues. Make sure it's not the clutch but they usually show up in the higher gears.

It has always been a rough shift. It will sometimes pop out right after the shift. Other gears seem to be fine.

Might have bent a shift fork early on and now it's got the dogs worn down. It will likely need the undercut job we do and new forks/shift drum. Email me directly and I can send info on pricing and options (a few on here have had our overdrive installed when doing the trans work).
