Transmission ?

I have a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo v6 and the transmission is slipping every now and then between 1st and 2nd gears.





My question is this- is there anything in the transmission that could possibly just need adjusted or should I just start saving for a new transmission now?





Thanks!|||low fluid, vacuum leak, possible adjustment needed. It is possible it could be something simple. I would get it checked before it gets worse.|||If the slip is only between 1st and 2cd start saving your money junkyards want around $900-$1100 for a 4x4 and $600-$1000 for 2wd|||cooler in radiator may be getting plugged. try bypassing it with rubber line and clamps, drive 2-3 miles. better? replace with auxilary cooler from auto zone $40-$50.|||i think that is your clutch lining thats getting thinner,causes slippage...more humming on engine,less power on running..have it check now to avoid damage on other parts..|||A band adjustment might help, but don't count on it. Start saving your money, and remember this hard fact of life: transmission shops don't make the "real money" by adjusting bands. A trusted mechanic is just as valuable as a doctor or lawyer.
