My 95 B3000 pickup is very sluggish, has been the whole time I have owned it (roughly 5 years) I have to practically redline it when making turns, or starting from a dead stop, to get it up to speed. Additionally, at speeds above 45mph or so I have to floor it just to keep it moving. Even the...

Thanks Aaron. I would have never guessed that. So many forums and so many methods. Btw, still running good!

so far the rebuild is good.... Oh, by the way. I am wondering if there is any way to find my own posts easily, aside from subscribing to a thread. I did a 'find my posts' search and didn't see anything. I don't recall it in the forum rules either.

now my next adventure is getting the clutch replaced on my 95 B3000. At least that is a simple job with a much cheaper price. I just wish I could channel all this money into my project car instead. I'd have it back on the road in no time.

Got it back today. Now my wallet hurts. So far no issues. Their recommendation is a fluid drain and new filter every 15k--not a flush. Those cause problems from what I've heard, so just drain and refill. Hopefully my pain will help someone else avoid the same, or if nothing else get them back on...

I'm getting a 3 yr/36 warranty. What is a WDS? Hopefully they will do that for me. What happens if it is not programmed to my 5?

Awesome info Aaron...a little late though, unfortunately...Read on. I'm in Boise. The rough estimate, with labor, is around $2800....but.... The heavy particulates found in my fluid was as concerning to the transmission shop as well as myself. As I mentioned before, the magnet in the tranny pan...

I agree on cleaning the bottom of the engine/tranny. hard shifting is definitely the tranny. I got P0758-shift solenoid B on mine. The CEL and AT light are on. Hard shifting, mostly reverse, first, and into neutral at a light. Take it to a reputable transmission place and grill em about it.

This may be unrelated, but if you are reporting shifting issues, and you are at 36k, you should look into changing the transmission fluid. It is unfortunately a dealer only item, MV type they recommend. I have been having issues with my tranny (110k on an 08) and through my research I have found...

Well, good news, sorta. Taking the 5 in today for a tranny rebuild. It's a different shop than the one I previously mentioned, but has come by way of many good recommendations from various people. When I spoke to them last week he was very knowledgeable, especially with the 5. New exactly what I...

To be honest I haven't had the time to read the codes yet. I plan to do that today, but I suspect it will be the same code, P0758. But, yes, the bad behavior returned. It worked correctly for maybe 5 miles before the CEL and AT lights came back on, just like previously, and it started shifting...

Ack. It didn't work. This attempt only lasted one day, so I swapped out solenoid B and gave it a new round of fluid. The new fluid I drained out didn't even have 10 miles on it, but it came out nearly as dark as the stuff before. I didn't flush the whole system, so it was mixed with old fluid...

Just wanted follow up and post my results. (I hate reading help/how-to threads that leave you hanging!) Got the correct filter instaleld today, put it all back together and filled it with new fluid. I didn't change any of the solenoids. Drove it to O-Reily's to clear the codes and it has...

unfortunately I bought the filter that has the shorter pickup tube, so I may have to wait until Monday to finish the job once I swap the wrong for the right one. No local auto parts places have the correct one.

According to the transmission supply place I got the parts from, the two smaller solenoids should give a resistance reading of about 4.5 ohms and the three larger ones should be in the range of 20-30 ohms. I got 25 on E, 32 on D for the two small ones, 30 on the pressure control solenoid, A, and...

oh, ok. Hopefully things are still ok with it. The fluid looked like motor oil it was so dark, and the magnet in the bottom of the pan looked like a flower. No idea when it was last changed. The filter had FoMoCo stamped on it, so either the PO used the dealer regularly, or its never been done...

Thanks. NAPA just informed me Valvoline MV will work too. I got some diagrams (will post later) of the solenoids, and which are which. So you're saying you change it every 5000 miles?

Also, just found out it uses MV type fluid, not regular ATF. Unfortunately its only available at the dealer for $10 ea. Can you uses other types or is it not a good idea?

Hey all. Hope someone can help me here. 08 Mazda5, 110k, automatic. I got it at 97k, previous (1 owner) had all dealer service intervals done. Not positive on how often tranny fluid was changed, but it looks brownish. Anyway, when the CEL and the AT light pop on, it shifts hard, esp in reverse...

do you have any item numbers for the thule,? I'll see what I can dig up on cl
