no second gear?

[slowchevy]

merging on the free way tonight, I went to go speed up and the car downshifted into second and immediately into third. It won't go into second, can't make it hold second.. what could cause this?

save the bullshit for another thread.

Have you scanned for codes?

 

[slowchevy]

no CEL's if that's what you're saying. I don't have a scanner that can do transmission though.

Bad trans. How many miles are on the car?

 

[slowchevy]

84330

 

[boostedguy05]

Previous owner beat on it

 

[slowchevy]

Guess I'll start saving up for a TEP trans and limp it and baby it like it's a piece of glass from here out. I have no "plan B" so it looks like if I can't afford a rebuild I will be reading up on how to do it myself.

What does the fluid look/smell like?

Smells and looks like normal fluid. Does not smell burnt. Car was still warm.

tim who?

thinking TEP if any rebuilds happen

 

[slowchevy]

oh, of intense.

 

[RICH17]

Id get ahold of a scanner. Could be a sensor or a solenoid problem still.

 

[slowchevy]

would a snap-on modus work? maybe? my buddy has one at his shop..

 

[slowchevy]

I just met you.. so watch me maybe?

"Hey guys, my trans is fucked up, so ima go beat on it, brb"

 

[slowchevy]

video was right after it happened before i got home to make this post.

If you floor it what does it do? It sounded like it shifted out of 2nd cause you let off the gas...

 

[slowchevy]

didn't get off gas until 10 seconds into video.

it seems to skip second.

 

[slowchevy]

should've just bought the junk ass camaro with an almost blown up T-5 and put a fucking t56 in it and not had this issue

 

[02BlueGT]

Spent $250 on a jyard trans and put it in.... I don't understand how you spend so much money fixing these gm cars that are retarded cheap to fix.

 

[slowchevy]
