Yeah my trans has been acting up lately this month. Takes a little into 1.5/2k to sometimes get it moving, other days its fine. I've posted about this before but havent got much response from the amount of people that read this. Late this night, I hit a nice straight away and hit 125 just fine but when i pulled into the subdivision i pulled in my girlfriends neighbors drive way to reverse and pull on the street. My reverse gear wasnt working and rev'ed it to 2.5k rpms...didnt move. Shout it off for about 2 mins tried again, same thing. While in park i tried to be a little ballsy and rev'ed it up there, hear a lil knock and put it back in reverse worked fine. Beleive me, I'm sure I'll hear my trans is shot, But thats the last thing I want to hear at the age of 17 and being on a huge budget.

97 auto se - 121k miles

My shortram intake has a leak in the MAF adapter, I'm trying to fix this but unfurtuantly I missed out on the cattman GD..Pissed about that.
Plugs, fuel filter, water pump, knock sensor, PCV valve have all been replaced recently.

Possible :: Egr valve solenoid gone bad? could it be JUSt the intake? Could it be my actual MAF? Tuffy by me runs a machine called motorvac that goes through and pumps all the carbon out of the system and TB (Similar to SeaFoam but when i used this I didnt get much of results) Someone told me it could be that Some of my injectors could possibly be clogged and this motorvac machine claims to unclog injectors. HELP!!

 

Torque converter, tranny pump, solenoids, valve body, clutches, not enough line pressure in the tranny could also cause that. It's time for some tranny work.

Thats not your motor causing the problem.

 

I know you dont want to hear it but seems like your tranny is in need of serious work.

 

man those were the symptons i had. do you peel out alot or by any chance did nuetral drops? is your tranny leaking? you probably burnt up your clutch packs and your torq converter is probably scarred up. and what you say? u got a leak on the short ram mid pipe to the maf? if i were u get that shiet fixed asap

 

if it was the maf your car wont go past 3k rpm, dude you need a tranny

 

sounds like you cooked your tranny like a lobster. as someone already stated if your having to rev it before it engages your losing pressure.

your most likely going to need around 1k + to fix it

good luck

 

dont rebuild it too much labor, i got a used tranny in great condition for 400. it was from a 99 sel. it has 40k miles when i bought it. much cheaper than rebuilding it. btw get a tranny cooler in the future

 

Nah, I've done one neutral drop ever and i Do regret it.. Last year, since then though the car was in for tranny work and my parents had to dish out about 2700.. They're on the verge of just getting a new car now, and It will be a used pos im sure so im trying to get this sucker running again I've also put a lot of money into it... System (ATleast i can take that with me) Full exhaust filters tuneups body work BLEH i dont want to see this cat gone.

 

Are you still under warranty?? For the work last year?

 

take it somewhere and have them run a tranny service, drain the fluid, check the plug for metal shavings, refill see it that will help. when i did that i found out for sure mine was fucked due to the metal shavings on my drain plug...

 

lol yes i had the same too

 

not fun huh......
