The trans filter and fluid is not the issue. a trans. will not slip upon any turn. your problem lies with either a bad drive axle on that side, or a bad wheel bearing. i would bet dollars to donuts that it is the drive axle....and i LOVE my donuts!!!!

    Sorry to ask the obvious but why would a bad wheel bearing cause the transmission to slip ??

Sounds less like a transmission slip as a rear end issue. What exactly happens on the turn?

2005 f 250 feels like the transmission is slipping from 1st to 2nd gear. could the trans just need to be serviced?

Hello tat... begin by checking the tranny fluid level. Add fluid to fill it to just over the max full level.

Drive it for ten miles and see if that alone solved the problem. IF not, have it serviced and have the belts tightened. Joe

Transmission slipping

Did you check the trans oil level. When you changed
the RADIATOR you will loose some trans oil.
If the transmission oil was low when you changed
the radiator it's lower now. Check it now.
Now, if thats not the problem. With that many miles
have you changed the trans oil lately theirs a filter
above the trans oil pan that may be pluged up change
it and the oil. Also, buy a can of trans X it's the only fix
in a can stuff I"LL use.

2001 Jeep Grand Char., trans slips when making left turn only , 144000 miles, filter and fluid was changed

theres not much you can do about a slipping trans. its probly more noticable when you turn left because your left rear wheel is your primary drive wheel, it takes more force to move your car from the inside corner than the outside. be gentle on it and it may last you a while

Transmission slipping

there are several issues that need to be addressed. I imagine that the trans oil and filter have not been changed in a while so that is a first step in fixing the problem. trans oil and filter should be changed every 50,000 miles for atf oil and 75,000 for synthetic oil. old trans oil and clogged filters are #1 reason for trans slippage. another reason is the trans controle cable is out of adjustment and there fore the trans doesn't shift like it should this is something that needs to be looked at by a mechanic. third possibilty is either the check valves inside the trans valve body are gummed up or you have a failing torque converter. try and get that oil and filter changed and see if this helps solve it if not than you need to takeit to a shop and have the trans rebuilt.
