Well I have two motors in my garage that have second gear slip problems. Yesterday I tore one down to see if I could find the problem. I am posting these pictures as a conversation starter to maybe help others not to say that this is the exact issue. Plus I do not think I found one photo regarding these issues. I believe this part of the problem with these trans.
So post up what you know to help others with this common problem.
Backside of the shift forks look good, the far left front shift fork moves the trans into second gear.
Now the fork on the right closest in the photo controls second gear. Doesn't look so good and definately isn't the same as the others. In the photo you see that the gear has been machining the fork. That is not good as I believe this will keep the gear from fully engaging. Which explains why a lot of people experience the trans jumping out of gear.
For reference here is the trans in the upper part of the case. The gear set closest is what you want to look at in the next two photos. All the way to the left is second gear on the closet gear set, the number one gear and the number two gear mesh together to make second. In this picture the trans is in neutral.
In this photos you can see the gears 1 & 2 meshed together, the trans is in second gear. You can also see the shift fork and where it would be machined if you could see the sides. I don't have any photos, but you also get a wear on the two gear dogs where they mess together and as it wears I would assume the second gear problems just become worse.
I am not saying this is the exact problems, just sharing what I saw in my motor and my take on the subject. FYI the motor is and 06 with the 13k.
