Slipping in forward drive.

We have been told that there is some form of adjustment that can be carried out on the transmission that will rectify this problem.. Answers gratefully recieved.

aha I had a weird fault a couple of months ago truck almost slipping drive altogether then it reset with a quick turn off engine and restart, it would then drive again and when changing direction repeat the fault. this must be common then as I stripped off the control head and found this red plastic plug/filter inside a spool a couple of threads loose.

You could also check the modulating valve orifice plug. This can loosen and causes slipping mostly when hot. Although you would most likely notice this in forward and reverse. Remove the plug on the valve body that you can stick a 14mm hex bit in (side of valve body closest to torque converter). I have my bit cut to about 30mm and use a 14 mm wrench to remove plug. Then remove a spool with a snap ring pliers or something similar. On the back side of the spool is the plastic modulating orifice plug (usually red in color). Check to see that it is tight.

If the transmission was rebuilt in the last five to six years it could have some defective quad rings on the clutch pistons. The rings were made of a material that could not withstand the heat and would get hard. This could happen in a matter of a couple of thousand hours on the truck if it is run hard. Daewoo never did say they could have had incorrect material for the rings. This probably happened to at least 10 transmissions where I work.

generally slipping can be the result of a mis-adjusted inching pedal but since you say it is only in forward i tend to think it could be the result of worn fwd clutch pack or some problem in the fwd circuit in the trans.
First thing i would do is get a pressure guage and hook up to the transmission control valve and take some pressure readings. This will tell you if it's pressure related or mechanical.

In most cases where i've seen a forward slip it has usually been the result of the operator pushing loads causing the clutch pack to wear out prematurly.
