Well i new this day would come sooner rather then later :(

Anyhow when I boot it the trans like revs but dont move untill a few sec's later an then rips an takes off. Now I like it but the fact is I know its not suppost to do that lol. Anyhow 1st thing was check OIL so yes the oil is fine.

Any other idea's what may course this an I no Ill hear It Needs A Rebuild.
on the other hand I dont quite have enough for a rebuild but can buy a 2nd hand 1 with low k's and can test it in the car b4 buying it?

What ur opinions and suggestions plz.

The 1 i speak of is out of a Wh Stato. Should suit mine shouldnt it? Well I know Vz ones do but just have to change the line pressure to suit.

may i suggest getting the transmission serviced?
new filters, new gasket the whole deal.

got my local mechanic to do it for me for about $150.

just because its full doesnt mean a filter is jammed up with crap or something, and in the grand scheme of things its cheaper than replacing lol....

Or you could do what I did and buy a $10 bottle of auto trans treatment.
It reduces slippage for smoother changes and rejuvinates the seals.

Worked for me but its just a thought:)

yeh go pay the $150 for a trans service, then if that doesn't work try the $10 auto trans treatment, these are better than paying anywhere up to a couple of grand for a new one.. and even a second hand transmission would be pretty expensive..

I got a second hand 1 lined up for 500 with 167,000 compared to my 250,000 and I can test while its still in the car. She is booked in for wed for a Free check lol an ill c what they come up with. if its more then I wonna know ill grab the 500 box an out it in.

Yeh auto aswell. When u drive it like revs alittle then kicks in which my 1st thought was convertor aswell. if thats the case ill thro a small stall in instead.

Go to a trans place and get them to hook in their real time diagnostics. It will show what's being commanded to happen in the box and what is actually happening in the box. Your car runs on a computer so utilise that to diagnose it.

Sounds like foward clutches to me though. If it does need a rebuild I would go that way instead of replacing it with another stocker
