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

Did try changing the tranny fuild. Sound like the tranny
dieing

new tranny..new filter..pan was clean..no abnormal shavings. I bought a modulator valve today gonna put that in 2morrow....


Worse comes to worse i'll tear it down and either rebuild it or chuck it...

James

no thoughts eh?


James

Yeah, to me it doesnt sound like a dirty or low tranny oil problem, I second whats been said above, maybe tourque converter?

it'* in both D and R....

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.

failing pump...? hmm...i'm not to good with tranny systems..woudl this mean a rebuild..best guess is yes


James

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