I was on my way to a hunting trip with my duck boat yesterday when the transmission started to fail. Once I stopped on the side of the road, the truck would not move in reverse or drive etc. Its pretty much fried right? After towing it home, I am leaning towards selling the truck as is. What can I expect to sell it for? 114k miles. white with tan leather, running boards. 2nd owner florida car. Thoughts? |

Take it somewhere and get it diagnosed before you panic. Whens the last time you serviced the transmission? |

60k without a fluid change is a terrible way to treat a transmission. Remember only about 25% of the fluid drains out every time. You may have caused terminal damage by not changing the fluid or filter at 90k. It will cost some $ but I would tow it to the garage, get them to remove the filter,drain and refill the fluid 2-3 times minimum and maybe maybe you will get the transmission back.....this will cost you though. From what you right I think there has already been considerable damage to the box and torque converter..... |
