Re: stumped

given the mileage and the care you gave the transmission ,it is no surprise its worn.

I would drop pan and see whats up. sounds like its dropping out of 4th gear. could be electrical/worn valves. if the valves are worn then other parts are worn.

being of this age most likely it has dexron III in it. dexron III turns to acid after 20-30,ooomi. this is how these are worn or should I say eaten by the acidic fluid.

If you get this rebuilt make sure they use dexronVI. I say this because dexron III is much cheaper. GM does not even license this fluid as it is defective. [gm 2006]
