My 904 has been acting up lately. It will shift through the gears when in D, but after a while cruising on the highway it will downshift or slip out of 3rd with any application of throttle. I don't know if the front clutch pack is overheating and then slipping, if it's a valve body malfunction, if the line pressure is falling and letting the clutch slip, a leaking seal, or what.
I rebuilt the transmission four years ago and it has worked flawlessly until a few weeks ago.
Fluid level is good, fluid doesn't smell burned.
It's hard to tell if the front clutch is slipping or if it's dropping into 2nd. When I give it some gas in 3rd and the tach shows the rpm jumping up wildly when I drop it into 2nd the rpm is roughly the same. The car continues to accelerate when it does this, but not like it should and I don't push because if the front clutch is slipping I don't want to burn it up.
Anyone else had a Torqueflite act like this? It's a new one on me.
It's a full-throttle downshift valve body.
