    never had any problems with the tranny. Not a problem shifting, finding the gear, or anything.

    There were some "computer" and "electrical" problems with the 2002 tranny, but that's the only problem that I've ever heard about with the tranny.

    Mine is pretty solid, does a good job and hits the gears just right. No problems here.

    Only one problem. A leak which leaves tranny fluid on the frame rail on the drivers side where the driver would sit. I believe it is a seal, it only happens when the fluid get hot after highway trips. Anyone have some insite as to the cause. The dealer can't figure it out. They want to tear the thing apart and charge $4k. Other than that, the truck is great!

    depends on the trip. It looks like alot (pancake size x3), however when I check the level it is still in the hot range. Its just irritating to see the "spot" on the driveway. the fluid gets caught up oon the frame rail and transmission support and makes it look alot worse than it is. I've looked in the shop manual, and it says that a common problem is the speedo cable seal. Just a little rubber donut. Theres been a couple of cases noted but no one gives a response.

    yeah, that's where I would start. Can you see where it's leaking from?
