Condition
Some customers may comment on a 2-3 upshift slip or flare.
Cause
This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability
concerns and no repair attempts should be made.
Service Procedure:
At this time this flare condition has been recognized in two different driving conditions:
1. During the first 2-3 upshift after the vehicle has been sitting, engine off for several hours.
This condition may be caused by air that is trapped in the 3-5-R clutch assembly.
When the first 2-3 upshift is made this trapped air is purged and the following 2-3 shifts will be normal with no flare.
When diagnosing this condition a garage shift into reverse before drive will purge this air and prevent the 2-3 flare from
occurring.
This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability concerns and no repair attempts
should be made.
Please communicate to the customer this will not impact the designed performance or reliability of the vehicle.
Please share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.
2. When transmission ATF temperature is at or below 85 degrees F (30 degrees C).
This 2-3 upshift flare can occur until the ATF temperature warms.
If the 2-3 flare is determined to be ATF temperature sensitive use a Tech 2 or GDS2 to make note of the throttle position
when the flare occurs.
Drive the vehicle to get ATF temperature to at least 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) and then make several 2-3 shifts at the
throttle position determined to be the most sensitive to the 2-3 flare.
This will allow the transmission adapts to tailor the shifts and may help to eliminate the cold 2-3 flare.
This condition is a NORMAL characteristic of the transmission, it will not cause durability concerns and no repair attempts
should be made.
Please communicate to the customer this will not impact the designed performance or reliability of the vehicle.
Please share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.
Notice: A revised TCM calibration has been released and is available on TIS2WEB to improve this concern in 2007 vehicles
equipped with the 6L90 RPO MYD automatic transmission.
