Re: Looking for Automatic transmission

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Before you consign yourself to replacing the trans there are a few 
things you can do. Make sure that there is Dexron in the trans, it's 
not under or overfilled and doesn't smell burnt. Also check the level 
in the final drive as it is a different compartment and is filled with 
90# gear oil. Check the drain plug for chips and the old oil for shiny 
particles. Make sure that the linkage is adjusted and actually 
connected to the trans. If you are capable drop the trans pan and 
inspect for sludge, loose parts, dirt, friction materiel, etc. If it's 
really bad clean it out replace or clean the filter and try again. If 
it still won't go then the trans is probably cooked. You could also 
check the line pressure, it can give you an indication of the internal 
health of the trans.
