    Question Transmission wont upshift?

    The fluid is red and it doesnt smell burnt or anything. I am kind of hoping that its a valve body or something maybe i need to run a cleaner through it, is there such a thing as a tranny flush fluid.

    Question 4WD HUB Noisy

    Yea i knew this was going to be hard to explain because i dont know anybody that has ever had this. If you look at the 4wd axle where the ujoint is in the steering knuckle i can grab the axle/ujoints and it wobbles up and down about an inch going into the hub assemlby area. Does this make sense...
