Well I assume my trans is shot, but I thought I would post just in case.
Background: 96' 230K lumina.
The trans has been getting progressively worse over the last year I'd say. It started with what I think was probably TCC shutter. After a while, shifting into OD would be delayed longer and longer. Now the car won't shift into OD until the car has been driven about 60-80 miles. Manually shifting helped for a while but now that doesn't work at all. More recently, the car won't down shift into first at all. The car always starts in second. Other gears seem to shift ok. There are no ECM codes now, but a while back there was a slip code. After resetting the ECM, and changing an O2 sensor, there has not been any codes (or at least no check engine light).
So, is there by some miracle an easy fix to this or is time for a new trans/car? How hard is it to swap the trans out and is it worth it? The engine seemed to run strong prior this, but 230K is a lot of miles.
Thanks for your help!
