My BURB's tranny has been working great until yesterday. Out of the blue it started flaring the 1-2 shift SEVERELY! When it goes to shift it would feel like it would hit neutral with no defuel, then bind, and slam into 2nd. Checked it for codes and found none, fluid level is dead on, fuel filter just changed, as well as spin on which had very little sheen on the magnet(had to be one of the cleanest spin ons I have ever changed on any ALLISON). Took it out today and still no codes, TAPS show as converged, but it would hit a wall and slam into 2nd. Reset the TAPS and made no difference. Then on my way home to park it, it started shifting like the TAPS had reset and smoothed itself right out after a few shifts.
When it was doing this it would ONLY happen on the 1-2 shift, 2-3 was perfect as well as the 3-2 and 2-1. Didn't matter if I was in tow/haul or normal mode when it was acting up, it shifted the same way. I'm wondering if my TCM isn't going on me as I have always had problems with TAPS going screwy, and the DVT's not working with this TCM. The big kicker is I'm laid up right now on crutches after hip reconstruction surgery. And problems with the BURB is the last thing I need right now.
