Thread: 3rd and 4th gone

So today omw to get my sister, my brake pedal started kicking back at me when im coming to a complete stop. Than that went away and 2 minutes later my trans wouldnt go into 3rd. And it wont go to 4th. A couple weeks ago I did a trans fluid and filter change because my trans barely worked at all. My abs light is on so its probably a bad speed sensor... but the trans... am I screwed? Thanks in advance

slipping tranny is a slipping tranny, new fluid never helps that. it maybe time to get a rebuild or a used tranny in there.

Check your trans fluid first.

Well after I changed the fluid and filter it didnt slip at all. It was perfect. Now all of a sudden I cant past second gear.

have you gotten it up to 45 mph yet? od wont hold till them, yes your gonna have to get on it some.

i lost 3 rd gear in my tranny, 4 th still held. but you need to open it up pretty good to get it there.

I almost red lined it in second I think I was around 60 or just shy i reallyyyy got on it. Wouldnt leave second

try a tranny shop, see if they can pull a code or something.


it dont sound good tho.

red line in 2nd is around 90mph

Dam. 90? Ill have to try it again. I don't really remember.but yes. I tried manually shifting it through all the gears multiple times. ill try all these things again.

I also put a shift kit in yesturday to see if it would help. But it didnt

Is there anything I can replace that might fix it. Tcc solenoid? Anything at all? I don't know transmissions at all

was it chugging with light throttle at say 35 mph at all before any of the gears left life?

for a bout 2 months before i lost 3 rd gear, the tach would jump 200 rpm's up and down, like it the tc was locking and unlocking. then 3 rd gear was just gone one day.

used tranny was the fix.

Nothing was out of the ordinary. For about 10 minutes my break petal kicked back coming to a stop. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't go into third. I was going like 20 taking my time. Then it just didnt shift. How much is a used tranny? I don't think its anything mechanical.

Are your brakes sticking?

Not at all. Everything was perfect. Besides it not changing into 3rd
Actually it studdered going up a hill for like 3 seconds a few days ago
Is there a solenoid I can replace? the tcc? Idk i just need some ideas. Ill try anything. If not ill just get a used one.
