I have some thing going on with my 2000 Chevy, and it is starting to concern me. I think maybe the transmission is going out, but not certain. The other day after work ( Friday ) I decide to turn the A/C on for it has been hot, and as I was starting to leave from a red light some thing weird happen as I was going through the intersection. It seem like I lost power for a split second and noticed that my battery light came on the message board, and directly after that my SES light came on. After that split second of loss of power the truck rode fine on the way home, but the SES light was still on. Saturday I go to Lowes & Walmart with no problems except the SES light is still on, but as I was on my way home I noticed the SES light turned off.
Well later that night I had to move my truck out of the drive way, and as I put into reverse every thing seemed fine, but once I put into drive it seemed like it did not want to move what so ever until I gave it more gas that what it takes to pull up to the curb. So I take it out on the road and see if it was just my imagination and I kid you not it did not want to shift what so ever. As I started to pull out of my street I noticed that battery light came on once again, and it seemed to lose power for a slight second, but the odd thing I noticed was my odometer lights were not on, and the mileage as well as gear shift icons were not lit up at all, but right after that split second of loss of power they came on which I just blew off thinking maybe just maybe the battery is starting to go bad, but Im not for sure, and the SES light came back on. So I was going up the road at 55 doing some thing like 2200 rpms, and I pulled off to a side road, and stuck it in third and it still felt funny, but one I stuck it in 2nd and then shifted back to 3rd and then drive it seemed fine until I slowed down to turn.
Well last night I was thinking damn I am going to have to fork out some serious cash to have this fixed, but still some what puzzled. This morning I get in it and still the SES light is on but it drove just fine as if there was no problem what so ever, but again this SES light is on. I checked the transmission fluid and it looks good not differ in color and doesn't smell like it's burnt or nothing. The truck has 92 thousand some miles on it and it's my DD, and it does not see the off road except come deer season and that is usually drive through corn fields or back roads in the strip pits ect. The truck still has 3.73's in it and I am still riding on 33's, but I don't think its a gear situation, and if it is I don't mind a bit to have that done, but a transmission problem that a whole nother story for those things are some times a night mare to fix as well as on the pocket to have them fix. Can anyone relate to this problem, and give me some opinions?
I know some people are going to say some thing about double posting, but I honestly did not see that there was a forum for transmissions and such. So before people start blasting me about double post I just want to apologize for I know its pain to read an article one place and to read it once again in another. Again sorry for the double post. Thanks KP
