Im gettin like a 1-2 second Hesitation when going from Reverse to Drive. It will just roll a little back after hittin D but it takes a little to catch on. What Could Cause this?

 

Low tranny fluid......dirty tranny filter causing a loss in line pressure......an old high-mileage tranny......those are the first things that come to mind.

Change the tranny filter and have the transmission flushed.

 

hows the trans fluid lookin? remember u have 2 be in park and the car must be runnin 2 check it.

 

My car also Lost power. It dont feel all that beefy no more. The Fluid isnt looking too good.

 

how many miles u got on ur car? what year is it?

 

86. It reads 50,965. I bought it at 47,xxx and the last owner said it had 47,xxx on a rebuilt engine but i dont really know if its actually 150,965 or just 50,965...Car dont got the 6th digit.

 

well, if its 150,000 then , if its not already had one, is prob time for a major tune up i also have an 86, it at the 110,000 mark. if u want ur power back u might have 2 buy a rebuild kit cost around 600+ depending on what u get. if its at 50,000 you'll just want a standard tune-up if i where u i'd get in contact w/ previous owner and ask him about the mileage also... ask if its ever had a trans service done if its around 50,000 do it soon cause if u wait to long doin the service might be bad 4 the transmission. well hope any of this helped. feel free 2 ask more questions if u wish.

 

How much is a trans rebuild kit?

Also, what brand/ kind of fluid should i use?

 

the dipstick should tell u what type 2 use as for the brand it doesnt matter and i'll try 2 remember 2 ask about the rebuild kits on the transmissons.... would u happen 2 know which one u have?

 

700-r4

 

if i remember right the price on a rebuild kit 4 one of those is around $1,400

 

You can buy an entire tranny for that! Maybe that's it, just seems really high. And the next question: Do you know how to rebuild an automatic? I've heard they're pretty complex if you don't know what you're doing.

alright man. time 2 raise the roof, found a page 4 ya http://www.700r4.com/ tells all about them and they build 4 stages of trannys4 ya i just found it page and im already lookin at a stage 2 tranny .

 

You might want to look into a power flush and fluid change, and I've had real good luck with an additive called "Lucas" trans reconditioner.
I'd try these before yanking it...

 

They are WAY complex. If you've never done it, I don't recommend you trying it without someone there to walk you through it.

But yeah, sounds like a lack of line pressure to me.
