Transmission malfunctions are sometimes hard to pin down and might even go unnoticed. A transmission slip can manifest itself in a lot of different ways because there’s not a universal or consistent way to describe it. Since it will vary based on the vehicle, how bad the issue is, and what components are at fault, here are some symptoms to look for in your vehicle.

Had this guy do alot of my bullet proofing for my 6.0l a few years back. Great service. PS Kelly.... your welcome for helping fund that new shop lol I also wanna add in here, I haven't been stationed at 7th SFG(A) group since I departed there in October of 2018. However I still reach back and call Kelley's for advice at times. (I probably annoy them at times lol) I'm actually driving down to Florida this weekend across the US to have Kelley work on my 6.7 next week. Sure, a local shop maybe cheaper than the repair plus the fuel spent driving down to Florida, however with Kelley I know it's gonna be done right. If that speaks any volumes of how much I trust this shop working on my stuff.
