Problem: About three weeks ago trans started slipping and eventually quit pulling. Shutting down the engine for 10-15 seconds and then restarting it would cause the trans to pull temporarily before it stopped pulling again. This could be repeated over and over.
I replaced filter and fluid, and everything was golden - for about three weeks. Problem has occurred again. Against my better judgement, I have done another filter and fluid change. The fluid was brown in color. Car is great right now, but I have the feeling that I have just postponed the inevitable. A friend thought one of the clutch packs might be coming apart and clogging the filter.
Any suggestions? Is a rebuild in my (near) future?
