[QUOTE="Chris M 2, post: 743418, member: 66045"] Totally new guy here, and about as handy as scrambled eggs when it comes to vehicle repair... I just bought a clean, low-mileage 2002 ST about two months ago, and began experiencing the "2-3 slip" (at least I think that's what it is) about two weeks ago. Usually happens after the truck has sat for several hours (first thing in the morning or coming home from work). High RPMs between 2nd and 3rd with no shift until I let off the gas. Thankfully I found this forum and have read much material on the problem. Still scared to death I'm gonna have to shell out large cash to fix the problem. What I'm asking for is this: what is the recommended sequence of steps to take in diagnosing/locating/fixing the cause? I see a lot of discussion on EPC solenoids and valve body gaskets... too bad I have no clue what those are! :blink: So, if anyone can offer some advice, I'll take it and be mighty grateful!!! And if anyone can recommend an honest shop in the Dayton, OH area I'll be doubly grateful!!! kindest regards, Chris M. [/QUOTE]
