Damn Automatics!!

I've had a few where I felt better after I parted them out and junked the rest. It may not be the most economical way to go, but peace of mind is important too. Look for a better specimen to put your efforts into.

Doing the same thing as the old one? Are you sure you hooked up the shift cable correctly? Is the shift cable in good shape? Is the TV cable installed corectly and adjusted properly?
If either of those 2 cables are not installed and adjusted properly, the transmission won't shift right.

Damn, Jim took my thunder. I know I know, and when I get the time I'll read everything you posted...but everyone I know is saying it's a learning experience and I don't even know why it broke again. I did what other people said, and when I get the junk tranny it had RED fluid and now it probably has brown. I really don't know what I did wrong...so what did I learn?

Never f*ck with automatics.

@Morley- it just broke itself again. It just happened and I don't know why, either time. And you know I wouldn't have touched the tv cable before I even knew what it was.

I know I really want a newer car but if I had to, I'd rather buy a third gen in better condition and use the iroc as a donor like you said, and keep the body somewhere. The problem is that I'm going to college in 2 weeks and I have panicked so much. I can't do much work before I leave so...we'll see what happens. Thanks for the posts in my thread XD

you hooked the tranny cooler line up right? it almost sounds like it is over heating and burning up the tranny. makes shure no tranny lines are blocked up with gummy tranny fluid.
