try a fluid and filter swap
but sounds like classic worn out auto...

[Paintabruh]

is dat like a service so what happens when its warn? big money aye?

[db_notso]

do an auto service
its a filter a gasket and new fluid

if the trans is worn out (im thinking bands; like a manual clutch wears out)
its a new box or recon the box...$$$$$

[Paintabruh]

Yehh i was thinking bands need tighting but heaps people are getting these probs and having to get new ones man my luk is shit

[db_notso]

before you condemn it!~
i wpersonally would do an auto fluid and filter change
may get you another couple of months out of it if there JUST STARTING to die (bands i mean)

im not an auto expert but i dont think the bands in these autos are adjustable? no?

[*uwishn*]

i'm having the same trouble in my clubby my box needs a rebuild.

[db_notso]

oil change first people..
also this eliminates low oil causing slippage of internal parts.....

old filthy or contaminated or low oil in the trans can cause it to slip resembling a worn band or clutch packs...

fluid in holden autos should be red on the dipstick and not smell burnt it is dextron3 OR ve etc dextron 6
the oil is bright red aswell and has a sweet oil smell...

Does indeed sound like the usual worn out transmission.

As said above perform a transmission service (Drop transmission pan, replace filter, refill fluid). Check the condition of the oil currently in the transmission, if the oil smells 'burnt' and is dark brown this is usually a sign of worn/burnt clutches but a service may help keep it alive longer. If the service makes a noticable improvement would strongly recommend fitting a trans cooler as the lower operating temperature will certainly help keep the trans alive longer. A service and cooler is definitely cheaper than a rebuild. Keep in mind that high RPM shifting into 2nd and 3rd will put a lot of strain on a worn band or worn clutch packs.

Most likely culprit is a worn 2-4 band or burnt 3-4 clutch plates. 3-4 Clutch plates are prone to failure in these transmissions and can be replaced with a 'powerpack' to increase durability (part of a rebuild). The 2-4 band can be adjusted with the use of shims on the band apply pin in the band apply servo assembly but would only recommend doing this if you were confident in modifying your transmission. The seals and o-rings in the servo assembly will also need to be replaced if doing this as the whole assembly will need to be removed from the transmission to install shims. This will need to be done while the pan is removed from the transmission so the band is visible to check clearance. The installation of shims is also a part of the installation of a corvette servo which comes with the necessary seals and o-rings for the assembly. Installing a corvette servo isn't recommended in a worn transmission though as it will increase apply pressure which will exacerbate any problems with worn components.

thank you all fellors realy realy helpful im not real mechanically minded so cant do it my self

recomend wreckers transmission and do an auto filter service on the wreckers trans
just make sure it less kms than yours

a wreckers trans for these in brisbane can be as little as 200 bucks + fitment +oil and filter service
food for thought maybe?

[Paintabruh]

200!! for a transsmision wow would it bee any good tho? yehh man i jus hope i dnt need one but if i do il go wreckers thanks man

[db_notso]

last one i got was out of a 180,000km vs (on odometer) into a vs with 260,000km's has been good for twelve months now
it cost about 400 all up including oils filters and a carton of beer

[Paintabruh]

Far thats heaps good man, im geting a recon -.- but i get 3 yrs warrenty on it so pretty good

[zelby11]

[Paintabruh]

Couple of days ago my VS was doing the same thing, over revving, not slipping into gear. We were on our way to Sydney airport, 9kms away, others cars starting honking at us. We were at traffic lights, as we started to move smoke pissed out everywhere. We pulled over, opened the bonnet and flames over the inside of the bonnet. Hubby pulled his jumper off to put out the flames and we tried to see what had happened. Way too dark so we managed to drive her to a servo a about 50 metres up the road. She wouldn't go above 20kms and now has no reverse either, just revs but nothing. Had it towed back here to Wollongong and now trying to work out how much damage done. Guessing new transmission needed. The dipstick pops out everytime you try to change gears as well. There is burning around the leads and also on the engine block just below the oil fill. Any ideas on places to get decent priced recon gearbox in our area and other things we should check. Going to need to replace several wires as they melted in the fire, including the wiper tubing. Thanks. Luci.
