Hey All,
My truck needs 15 minutes or so to warm up before it shifts to next gear.
After it runs for a while it seems fine for all gears
Lookng underneath i noticed a bolt missing on the pan. I was wondering if adding the missing bolt, changing my oil and filter would eliminate the issue?
any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Re: 1968 F-250 with C6 Transmission
Assuming the fluid is close to full, your trans has an internal leak and fluid is bypassing a sealing ring until it warms up. Time to rebuild or replace it.

Are you sure you have type "F" fluid not Dexron ?
If vou decide to change the fluid ,don't forget to drain the torque converter .

cep62,
im draining the trans fluid now. I have a oil pan that the fill tube goes directly into the side. it appears frozen. i have to remove the filler tube with the pan it seems, hope i can pull it down intact.
Thanks for the advice on the torque converter, is there a drain bolt for that?
After i change the fluid and filter ill add some Lucas and see what happens. And yup I got F type in there.
thanks
