Thread: Transmission question if anyone can help!!

Been having transmission issues (really late shifting) for two years now. did transmission filter 6 months ago but never found anything in the oil pan. decided to open the filter and this is what I found, it looks like clutch material. can anyone confirm this?

Def, not normal particulate in the filter. I had pieces uf metal in the bottom of my pan, I found during my transmission fluid filter change. I had a issue with the trq. converter not holding under load. I put in some LUCAS tranny stuff and it helped alot, the tranny is still going strong at 155k.
Cant' hurt to tray some tranny stuff int it.

I tried Lucas but didnt make much difference. Just gonna save up for a rebuild. any recommendations on what or where I should buy the kit from or are they all the same.

post in the correct section and u may have better luck as you probebly need the tranny section

I just bought the rebuild kit from zzp..its all ac delco parts and its only around 150 bucks..I work at a auto parts store and I can't even find an off brand rebuild kit for that price!

looked at the 150 kit but had one question. Did it come with the steels too?

I did not think the LUCAS stuff was going to work either, but after about 500 mile of driving, my conveter holding issue is no longer an issue, meaning, it holds under acceleration, (load), unlike before were the rpm would bump up and down if I pressed the pedal down slowly to speed up.

I jinxed myself, my tranny gave out yesterday. had to drive 8 miles to get home going 16 mph max. it fought to stay alive though. lasted 3 1/2 years with the late shifting.
