Re: z28 transmission
 

Could you clarify exactly what happens when "it stalls slightly to put second gear ". Do you mean it seems to hang up before it will shift into 2nd; it goes into neutral before it shifts into 2nd, etc?

It it stalls at 11 mph
stays reving for about 1 second then jumps into second gear

Fluid level is correct, and fluid does not look/smell burned?

There are codes for the 4L60E trans. They don't turn on the SES light. So you have to scan for them. This is a problem with a 95, because it has a 16-pin OBD-2 style ALDL connector, but an OBD-1 PCM. Here's free software download. You just need a cable.

What's your budget?:)

Around 150,why do you ask does it seem like a serious problem?

Re: z28 transmission
 

I'd get the trans fluid changed by a shop that can flush the torque converter. Filter change also.

What fluid would be best?

Re: z28 transmission
 

Exactly what the Owner's Manual tells you to use. That would be a Dexron-3 compatible fluid. The current Dexron-6 is backwards compatible.

Thanks for all the help already talked to a shop to flush the tourque convertor and im gonna flush the radiator and change engine oil myself,thanks again :)
