when taking off from a start the first and second gears are a little rough and i can feel when they shift throughout the car. When going into second i can hear a minor poping noise on the Passenger front side of the car. Is my automatic slipping on me? i haven't replaced the transmission fluid in about 20k miles. Would that help to temp. correct this problem. or is the transmission in need of replacing. i hope not cause im not spending that kind of money on a automatic.

im also collecting parts now for a auto-5speed swap towards the summer. and a 19t kit. i also have my eyes set on a SOHC engine and tranny for 200 for both; the draw back being that it has 100k miles on them. <<<is it worth the money and is the transmission worth anything now that it has 100k miles on it.

 

any suggestions

 

anyone?

 

replace th tranny or have it rebuilt a fluid change will only temporarily fix your problem

 

ok, i went outside ( fucken drizzle and cold,windy)and the tranny fluid is down to ****. i bought some transmagic and put about half of it in there. It shifts better than before. Ill flush it out tomorrow and put in some additive

 

how does your dipstick look? there was a recall over that a few years back.

 

it was lose coming out. and didn't take any effort at all. like it was just suspended there, barely holding on

Get a manual??......j/p....someone had to say it.
EDIT: Just flush it MORE than once.....I would say take it off the car and do it but that would be a pItA...

 

the only way to properly flush an auto is to use pressure because the torque converter will hold a ton of fluid. You will only change about 3 or 4 quarts. I actually am in the process of the trans swap myself + mini-me head swap. The trans costed me way more than I thought it would. Its not just the trans.It's linkage, pedals, clutch master and slave cylander, clutch, flywheel/bolts, shifter......pain in the ****. but its honestly worth it if you do it yourself.
