Question

1993 Chevy Truck shifting...


Sent to Car Experts March 06, 2006 3:28 p.m.

I own a 1993 Chevrolet Truck with a 350 ci TBI engine, 4wd, extended cab, z71. Recently the check engine light came on and the transmission started to shift to hard. When you first put it in drive it jerks hard and acts like it is starting in too low a gear. Then when your driveing it revs too high before shifting. It never does reach overdrive and when passing it doesn't seem to get into a low enough gear.

Optional Information:
1993 Chevrolet Z71 350ci

ACCEPTED Check Mark

Most likely you have a bad shift selenoid. That is why the ck engine light came on at the same time it started acting up. The engine light is letting you know there is a problem. If you can find out what code is set that will tell you which selenoid it is.
