Transmission slips (doesn't move) when hot.

[$EEKING 945 TURBO WAGON]

What did I miss? Easiest, simplest, cheapest, quickest to check,& MAYBE even fix...

Why would not THE very first thing to check, the quickest, easiest, simplest and cheapest- if the screen is clogged, as mentioned clearly long ago- the condition of the converter, clutches, valve body or pressure tests are moot; are they not?

I liked the concept mentioned in one of the first posts; crud in the pan stays on the pan- UNTIL it gets circulated enough to CLOG THE SCREEN. As an astute observer observed; "letting it cool down" MIGHT just be the sediment falling back to the bottom- opening the previously RESTRICTED SCREEN. Did I miss a salient point in there somewhere?

I learned this concept also holds true for nasty fuel tanks and pump intake screens. I got stranded in a customer's work truck, after being told to not test drive it. I know better now. Maybe.

I there's enough **** in the pan to clog the screen that car isn't going to move without a tow truck, regardless of temperature.

Yeah, the AW50/55sn doesn't have a pan and there is no filter. There is a screen on the pickup that can be accessed by only disassembling the trans pump and splitting the gear case open.

Why are you bring up almost year-old threads anyway?
