Hey all,
I'm having a transmission problem which I need some advice on. It's a '95 V8 with 117k miles on it. The other morning when heading to work, my car started shuddering pretty badly. I assumed that it was time to get the trans fluid flushed (since it seems a pretty common problem with our cars). The shuddering only occurred when shifting into 3rd. Unfortunately briefly after the shuddering started, I lost 3rd completely. Once it shifts out of 2nd, I can rev it all the way to redline and get nothing.
I got the fluid flushed and filled with Mercon V, as recommended by everyone on the board. The 1-2 shift is smooth (I was having hesitation issues with it before) but I still have nothing past 2nd. Am I looking at major work like a rebuild or is there something else I can look to do?
With the high amount of miles on the car and various other nagging issues, I'd rather put $1500+ into another vehicle (any V8 'Birds left with low miles?) ;-) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Som
