I got in my car today to go get my transmission fluid changed (Scott did it with that T-Tech machine, pretty cool thing....you guys should get it done) I should have noticed something wrong when i went to reverse and it didn't go anywhere. I had to run the car at about 5000rpm just so it would creap out of the driveway. Also driving down the road was the same thing, it wouldn't shift into the next gear and would stay in gear to almost red line. When i finally got to his house and we did the swap of fluid it dumped out a hella amount on his driveway.........which only enforced the fact that the transmission has sprung a leak somewhere! So we look under it with the new fluid in and the cover plate off and heard the TC rattling and then from just above the pan come red trans fluid coming out! I had suspected it was slipping because i was low on fluid and i couldn't get a good reading on the dipstick. I towed the car back to my house and now it's sitting in the driveway. Is there a simple and inexpensive way to check to see if it's only a gasket or messed up TC? I don't want to replace the transmission if i don't have to. Can someone help?

 

One cheap and simple way is to pull the transmission out and check the torque converter.

Bring it to Kens Performance trannies....for around 1200 you get a rebuild you won;t have to worry about going bad.

Don;t quote me on that price...but ask around he does some gr8 work on these trannies.
