Re: Is my transmission shot....again!!?

It doesn't sound good when you say that starting from stop the rpms shoot up and van barely moves.
On the other hand the jerking is a normal failure mode on this trans and you could drive it like that for years. Slipping however is bad--very bad.

Not to pick an old wound, but why purchase a used tranny when for not much more you can have yours rebuilt? I've changed these trannys several times and its no fun. I'd put a rebuilt in there unless I knew the history of the replacement.
