Transmission Manual For Isuzu Rodeo
I have a 2002 Rodeo 4x4 LS and the servo blew out the side of the transmission housing 18 months ago. I had the dealer replace it, but since then everytime I hit 70mph on the interstate the car lunges forward and the Check transmission light comes on. Then the car shifts real hard. After I let it sit for about tweny min the car goes back to 'normal'. Could the servo have been installed wrong and thats why I have no overdrive?

This has been an ongoing problem and I'm fed up with dealerships. Do you think I could replace the servo and cover myself? I've had the Rodeo for nearly 10 years and love it. However, the trasmission is now not shifting smoothly. I assume low fluid or fluid that needs to be replaced. The owner's manual says to replace the fluid every 'X' miles.
I asssume the dealership has been doing that.I go to a Honda dealership because there is no Isuzu dealership where I live. The vehicle now has 105K miles on it. I made an appointment for a tune-up and mentioned the transmission problem.
When they gave me the keys back saying the work was done they also told me they didn't do the transmission because they don't have the tools. Now I'm assuming the fluid has never been checked or changed.I'm just a bit on the pisturbed side wishing they had mentioned this 80K miles ago. This has the transmission with no dipstick or easy-access filler port; basically, non-owner check and topoff/change. The shop manual says there is a special tool, a thermometer, for checking the temp of the fluid and that the temp has to be in a certain range for the check to be done properly.
The shop manual goes on to say the car should be level and running!!!! So, this appears to be an issue that we can't do by jacking the car up!!!!! Draining the fluid looks straight forward but then you have the filling problem. Again, the car needs to be level so jacking it up to get at the filler port is out of the question. The Honda folks say they have a pump to do the job. I can see where that would be good because the funnel and long hose is going to make a big mess!
Any suggestions? Has anyone taken their car to a transmission shop and been able to get the work done? I hope this makes sense. Well, I own a 98 rodeo, great little SUV. I have two little problems - First, I has happened for the past two summers, in the heat. The shifting into 3rd grear and out is rough. This is an intermittant problem.
Last year I took it in to a garage(national chain) and they had it for two days, no issues nor did the computer find any error messages(what they told me). So they charged me nothing and told me to wait for it to happen again. All winter long it is OK, but in the heat I notice that the light indicator does not always match the Shifter (auto trans) or it is delayed, ex- if it is in Drive the light might read neutral for a few seconds before it hits drive. Anyway, could it be some kind of electrical thing that happen only in the heat?
Some conection expands and does not make contact (something like that?) Issue number two will be for later. Thanks for any help you can give me. The suv is coming up on the end of the warranty and there is an acceleration problem. When you step on the gas, it sounds like the emergency brake is on and the transmission is laboring. There is no isuzu dealership in Lubbock, Texas and I do not know of a reputable mechanic/dealership to take it to. The vehicle has 54,700 miles. Any suggestions on who I can take the vehicle to for consultation or repair either here in Lubbock or in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex?
Also, what do you think might cause this problem? I am trying to figure out if it is worth repairing or getting something else. Any info would be appreciated.

I have not found anyone wanting to work on this vehicle. Thanks in advance, Jan09.
Really hoping to get an answer. 2001 Rodeo 4cyl automatic transmission. The transmission light on dashboard flashes and the transmission clunks. What is odd is this is very inconsistant, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
The mechanic must think that I am nuts because he can't get it to do it for him. But this is really happening.

I don't want to continue driving it in fear of totally ruining the vehicle. Does anybody have any ideas why this happens only sometimes? Well, I had the same issue and I was told that my tranny was overheated.

Which I found strange, because the AT temp light never came up. Eventually I had to have it replaced and I added an external cooler. The one built in the radiator was clogged. So far so good. Have you tried shifting manually starting from L and then up, as if you're driving a manual?
If that works then probably mechanically your tranny is ok. And the problem could be either with the CPU, wiring, mode selector, speed sensor or valve solenoids. Best thing to do is have it scanned.
