Default 92 is having a transmission problem

my 92 SE L27 has this problem to where you put it in drive it takes forever before it catches gear. Also it seems like it wants to die after about 5 mins of running, think they could be related..the car has 204,000 miles and it isn't in the best of shape.

Thanks

Both D and R? Sounds like a failing pump. Low line pressure. That'* not an educated diagnosis, more like a semi-educated guess based on both directions being affected equally. Particularly so if you have mushy shifts.

could added stress from the rims have had an effect on the trans?
