ok i got some tranny fluid and filters, and my dad and i are going to drop the tranny down and have a look. where do you get the delco kit from?

[SilverSpyder33]

ok tomorrow we are gonna drop the tranny and get that started, it might be the filters and sol's. i got the ecm out of the car unplugged it and all, 16197429 is the number on the outside. opned her up, the blue thingy prong says bmrx 16210105 on the op. i dont know what that means. i can take pics if it would help anyone. we'll see if the tranny thing helps, if not then i dont know. i hope the selenoids and filters work. thanks again.

well i re-installed the nfactory radio/cd/tape player. This car also has 20" rims on it. after plugging the ECM back in, and reconnecting the battery, i took it for a short drive. Id did not act up for a while, a lot longer than what it usually did. i drove it in 3 all the way though. a few seconds after putting into OD on the highway it went nuts, the ses light came on and here we go, stuck in 2nd again. Im going to drop the tranny tomorrow, and check the filters and change fluid. any help would be appreciated!! thanks!~!

mate don't push your luck ! if im right currently you overstressing the valves by driving with incorrect fluid route !
you MUST get ACDelco kit 24211355. rockauto have it for 59$.
It have 2 sols AND AN UPDATEd bracket ! you will figure it out as soon as you get the valve body out of car. in kit also 1 longer screw - to secure bracket that holds mini pcs filter (also in kit !). before 96 tranny's was not equipped with this bracket, and tiny filter (WHICH IS BETWEEN SOLS, INSERTED into valve body) may stick a bit out causing this stressing malfunction...
any q's along - my icq is 4894213, i did it myself just month ago....

the arrow shows the 'backside' of that minifilter, right and left are solenoids (one is taken out). so if this plastic square back of filter is out even a 1mm - you loose 3rd and 4th. it must be completely inside - pushed in. in a kit you will get a straighforward bracket which will forcefully hold it it forever.

ok i have everything dropped(after alot of tranny fluid, what a mess) anyway, how do you get the sol's out?

[lynzoid]

read ACNA guide

[SilverSpyder33]

ok got the sol's out, now about the 4th ball, do you have any pics or can you tell me exactly where it goes? im waiting on the parts to come on the truck, i licve behind the dealership and they should be here in about 4 hours. im just wondering where the 4th ball goes. thanks so much for your help, im not doing a bad job for a 22 yr old guy and his 1st tranny lol.

[lynzoid]

np man ! i mean again im pressing your attention towards the filter between the sols ! you have to replace it and after then putting valve body back together use longer bolt and bracket from kit !
4th ball - look closely at the acna 'fluidy' picture ! there are 4 balls there in correct positions ! just look closely. i also had problem seeing them all at first =) it's easyer to see than explain.
mate drop me a line to '[email protected]' i may be able to mail some more charts and piccis, but really at this point you know almost all there is to know about this job.

ok gents got the car back together now and more problems lol. i changed the oil and the change oil message still dings at me, how do i get that off of there? also the auto-push ait keeps coming on, the factory cd player gives me an error code 23. Now i took it for a drive after refilling the tranny fluid to a good level, and it was fine, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, fine. when i got out on the highway and put it down into o'd, lookout, here came 2nd gear again and the ses light. im totally at my wits end with this car and ive only had it for 2 weeks now. someone please tell me why my o'd is making this car do this, and what can cause 2nd gear to come on all of a sudden.

[lynzoid]

as per resetting the oil change - get to 'oil 0%' press and hold reset.
now, did you or did you not replaced the solenoids AND INSTALLED THE NEW FILTER(NOT THE ~BIG FILTERS !!!!!!!!)+bracket ? i think not and you stressing you tranny even more.
refilling the tranny fluid to a good level...
sorry mate but i give up on you.... sorry
