Q: The rodeo has a slipping problem when taking off. It also shifts hard from 1 to 2 then 3 and 4
I changed both solenoids, transmission filter and fluid, vehicle speed sensor and the output speed sensor. I only need to change the input sensor, but I want to change both input and output speed sensors because the output speed sensor I changed was from the junkyard and so to be sure I'd like to change both input and output speed sensors. I still have the slipping problem when I take off (I have to go easy when I take off so that it can work right) and it still shifts hard between gears. What can you tell me that I need to know? Thank you
