My friend's afraid his 41TE is on it's way out. I asked why and he said the tranny doesn't shift from 1st to 2nd as soon as it used to. It stays in 1st longer before finally going into 2nd. Any ideas? TIA.

Before changing the trans fluid or rebuilding the trans, perform the following;
- Removed the cable connector at both the TCM (Transmission Control Module) and the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and clean with alcohol and (soldering / acid) brush. I think you will find a lot of contamination in the TCM connector.
- If still bad, R&R the Input and Output Speed sensors ( total).

Bad Input/Output Sensors will not store an error. Scan will only give unpredictable error codes from intermittent sensor. Only a completely failed sensor will be identified in the scan.
