Welcome to AF, call any reputable salvage yard they have interchange books that will tell you what transmissions are direct fits.

Re: 99 limited lesabre trany slippen

When the trans is slippin, you will get a Check Engine Light, with a code. If not, it could be something else. "Trans Slipping" on these transmissions could be a valve body. Common problem with these trans.

Do you have a CEL, or a Code? Which one?

Chris.

You need a trans specific scanner to monitor trans function. Take it to a transmission specialists!

agreed... This could be as simple as a PCS issue... The car needs to be scanned...

Check plugs and wires first.
