I changed the filter and fluid as routine maintenance. I didn't know when the last time it had been changed and the fluid was starting to get darker. Wasn't brown or black just time for a change. Better safe than sorry. Thats why I did a complete system flush with new fluid. It drove fine untill I had a problem with the ABS wheel speed sensor. Once I fixed that, the problem remained. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the ABS system or not. Thats why I posted this thread. Just wanted to see if there was anything other than a rebiuld or replacing the tranny I could try. I have 1st, 2nd, and reverse. No slipping in those gears at all. Just when I get up above 20 mph does it start to act up. Feels like it doesn't want to shift into 3rd but downshifts back to 1st and the engine revs up. Have to play with the gas pedal to get it to finally shift into 3rd but it doesn't stay there. It will stay in 3rd only if I'm trying to gain speed or going up hill. Long as ther is a "load" on the tranny it will stay in 3rd. But it feels like it shifts back down to 1st or 2nd if the load is taken off the tranny.
Any advice will be greatly apperciated. This is the only vehicle I have on the road at the moment due to the fact that the tranny in my 88 is totally fooked. (thats what I get for buying a used one from someone I don't know)
