Isuzu rodeo transmission parts

Isuzu Rodeo

The Isuzu Rodeo was introduced to the public in 1990. It came in as one of the most bestselling vehicles. Sales amounted to roughly 60,000 vehicles since 1994. In that same year, there were also 20,000 Rodeos rebadged and sold by Honda as Passports. Many auto dealers view this vehicle as a money maker. It has been a conservative vehicle with not many changes made to it. A huge overhaul was done on the Rodeo in 1998, even though; it resulted in it being more of an evolutionary step in comparison to a revolutionary one. The overhaul transformed the exterior into a much softer appearance. The edgy lines were rounded off and 285 pounds were shed. In the interior, there was a new dashboard, more leg room in the front and it also had extra cargo space, 6.2 cubic feet to be exact. In comparison, the changes this year to the Rodeo amounted to just a conservative face lift rather than a huge overall.

The LSE model has a basic 3.2 liter V6 engine, churning out a decent 214 pound-feet torque and 205 horsepower. Coupled to this particular engine is the four speed automatic transmission, electronic in characteristic and offering as much as three shift modes once you touch the center console button. If you want a four wheel drive vehicle, then this is it. On the dashboard, you will find that most features can be activated by the push of a button. So, it becomes quite convenient for the driver. In addition to the LSE trim level, there are two others, which are the S and LS trim levels. You also have the option of a rear wheel drive and an automatic or manual transmission choice.

On the outside, the Isuzu Rodeo has a new front bumper and new grille as well as mounted headlights with side marker and turn signal lights that are incorporated into an exclusive assembly. The new version has an aggressive look up front and so emphasizes some kind of jagged off-road character that was lost in the makeover done in 1998. In so doing, the appearance on the outside has been softened. The rear has fresher tail lights and new bumper facade. On the interior, the panel underwent a slight change. There were additional harsh marks between the numbers on the tachometer and speedometer. There is a complete redesign of the front seats, providing additional padding in the back seats and innovative seat cushions. It also had new side bolsters. The seats are very comfortable and offer great support to passengers. However, there is still some lack in lateral support. The Isuzu Rodeo is not a sports car, when it comes down to it. Even though, it isn't sporty, it still does not drive or can be handled like a truck. The ride is not stiff nor is it soft. A good guess is that it is in between.

Call with code off your existing torque converter and we can provide a quotation.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance cycles and continued checking of fluid levels is critical to the life of your transmission. Operating temperature is the single most critical parameter effecting the life of the transmission. Keep the temperature down and fluid fresh helps the units typically last a very long time under normal driving conditions. We can supply a couple of aftermarket products to help you get the most out of your transmission:

Always consult and follow owners manual for maintenance intervals and requirements.

Overhaul Tips

Before you tear into the transmission, we suggest you first study the troubleshooting overhaul manual, add a bottle of our "Automatic Transmission Protectant" and put a few miles on the vehicle. This just might free valves and governors that are possible stuck in valve bodies. Be sure to get computer trouble code(s), see owners manual for technique to acquire malfunction codes. This will be a great assistance in diagnosing possible problems.

Twenty-One Steps to Successful Transmission Repair:

1) Do your research locate any technical bulletins pertaining to your transmission, ask your dealers parts department for bulletins.

2) Clean the entire transmission, including the valve body.

3) Check pump, valve body and case for warpage.

4) Flat file pumps, valve bodies, and cases. Just a few strokes with the file to knock off high spots and handling burrs.

5) Check all pump gear clearances.

6) Check planet pinion end play and side to side motion.

7) Soak all planet assemblies.

8) Soak all friction materials for 15 - 30 minutes.

9) Make sure all steels are in usable condition or replace. Do not sand or tumble steels when used against High Energy friction materials.

10) Inspect all surfaces upon which a band will ride.

11) Replace all rotating oil control rings.

12) Check all oil control rings and rubber products in the bores for proper fit.

13) Check all major support bushings and bushings that control lub oil.

14) Pre-lubricate all bushings and thrust washers.

15) Pre-lub pumps.

16) Pre-fill torque converter.

17) Use available manuals to ensure proper specifications and clearances.

18) Set correct clutch and band clearances.

19) Take the time to set the total end play.

20) Use a torque wrench on all pumps and valve bodies.

21) Always double flush the cooling and cooling return lines to the radiator to remove particles trapped there.

Take your time, take your time, take you time

Torque Converter Installation Preparation

Many torque converter problems can be avoided with proper preparation:

1) Pre-thread converter bolts by hand to make sure there is no sign of stripped threads.

2) Check and clean crankshaft thoroughly. Change crank spacer (if applicable).

3) Use 320 grit sandpaper or Emory cloth to remove any metal shavings on crankshaft.

4) Check converter for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.

5) Pre-fill converter with a minimum of (1) quart of transmission fluid.

6) Clean all paint off the pilot using 320 grit emory cloth.

7) Apply grease, not transmission gel, on the pilot.

8) Check flexplate for cracks and be sure there is no more than .006" run out.

9) Make sure all engine dowel pins are in place and clean.

10) Make sure all electrical ground straps are properly connected.

11) Never, Never use an impact gun to install torque converter bolts. Driving a bolt into the converter cover will create a dimple on the lockup apply surface. Lockup clutch failure will occur when the lockup piston applies against and uneven surface. Grinding off on thread length from all lockup converter bolts is recommended to avert this type of failure.

What are the DTC codes related to Isuzu Rodeo transmission problems?

P0766 – Failed Shift Solenoid D – This DTC can be stored when there is a problem with a shift solenoid or the valve body.
P2703 – Failed Friction Element D – This trouble code can be triggered by a failed friction element like a clutch disc.
P0720 – Failed Input Speed Sensor or Output Speed Sensor – This trouble code is caused by a bad speed sensor on the transmission.
P0730 – Incorrect Gear Ratio – This issue could be caused by a number of problems, including a fault in the transmission control module, dirty transmission fluid, or a bad transmission solenoid.
P0657 – Voltage Problem in the ‘A’ Circuit – This transmission problem is often caused by a short, or bad ground on the PCM or PCM wiring harness.
P0700 – Malfunction in the transmission control system – This DTC is often triggered when there is a problem with the TCM, a wiring harness, a solenoid, or the valve body.
P0715 – Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Malfunction – This code typically gets stored when the input sensor cannot read the engine RPM, which can prevent the transmission from appropriately shifting gears.
P0717 – Input/Turbine Speed Sensor No Signal – This trouble code is generated when the PCM does not get a signal from the input speed sensor, which will prevent the computer from being able to determine when the transmission needs to shift.
P0791 – Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor ‘A’ Circuit – This error can occur when there is a problem with the intermediate shaft speed sensor, most likely due to a bad sensor, wiring problem, or a failed shift solenoid.
P0793 – Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal – The computer will generate this DTC when it cannot communicate with the intermediate shaft speed sensor.

Can I drive with a transmission problem?

If your Isuzu Rodeo can still make it up and down the road, you might say “It’s fine, I’ll just drive it until I can get it fixed”. But that is not always a good idea, depending on the symptoms. You see, there are a lot of (very expensive) moving parts inside of a transmission, and if something isn’t right, continuing to drive with a transmission problem could damage something else.

How often does a Isuzu Rodeo transmission need to be replaced?

The overall lifespan of a Isuzu Rodeo transmission largely depends on how well it was maintained. Factory design flaws also factor into this equation, along with how/how hard you drive. But on average, we’ve seen the Isuzu Rodeo transmission last for between 130,000-180,000 miles. A high quality replacement transmission however, can last considerably longer if all of the factory design flaws have been addressed and the vehicle has been maintained.

How are Isuzu Rodeo transmission issues diagnosed?

It is fairly easy to guesstimate what the root cause of your Isuzu Rodeo transmission problems might be, but you won’t truly know unless you have the right tools and experience. A good mechanic or transmission repair center will be able to connect your truck to a computer and find out which diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s) have been stored. Once they know what to look for, they can perform a visual inspection to verify the problem.

How is a Isuzu Rodeo transmission replaced?

In order to replace your Isuzu Rodeo transmission, the truck has to be lifted from the ground in order to gain access to all of the parts that will need to be unbolted. Then the transmission can be lowered to the ground (typically with a transmission jack), so the new transmission can be installed.

How to Solve Isuzu Rodeo Transmission Problems

Solution A: Buy a Used Isuzu Rodeo Transmission

The quickest way to fix your transmission problems is to simply buy a used transmission or used transmission. These can be found at most junk yards, and they often come with a 30-90 day warranty. However, there’s no way to determine the actual condition of the internal components, so you could be spending a bunch of money to have the exact same problems. Plus, that warranty only covers the transmission if it’s defective, not the labor costs that you’ll have to pay.

Solution B: Buy a Rebuilt Isuzu Rodeo Transmission

Another option would be a rebuilt transmission or rebuilt transmission. A local repair shop will remove your transmission, then install a bunch of new parts during the rebuild. The problem here is, the skills and experience of each transmission rebuilder will vary widely from shop to shop, so you could have problems from something that wasn’t adjusted properly. And the 1-2 year warranty might only cover you at certain transmission repair shops, in a specific geographical area.

Solution C: Buy a Remanufactured Isuzu Rodeo Transmission

Many owners depend on their vehicle to commute and get things done. Their gasoline engines are designed to go 100’s of thousands of miles, so it makes sense to invest in a remanufactured transmission.
