I just purchased this car yesturday, at a good price. The tranny won't shift into 3rd and when you shift into 4th if feels like its in neutral. My question, Is the tranny pretty much shot? I test drove it around the neighborhood and everything seemed fine. Its an AOD with 2:73's, so I didn't find out anything is wrong until the freeway. I was taching 3400rpm in 2nd @60mph.
Thanks

I had mine do the same thing and it needed a full rebuild. Made the mistake of rebuilding stock aod and the next one was gone in 25k miles. Make an upgrade to a lentech or c4 would be My advice to you, also put a trans cooler on it as well if you dont already have one. I have a B & M tranny in mine now but will upgrade to lentech trans w- lentech shifter when this one goes. Good luck!

Get a new tranny completley, I would go with a Lentech if you want to stick with the auto. If not convert it to a five speed.

I;m sticking to an auto. Any of you guys hear of GER transmissions. Its in Muscle Mustangs. They have an AOD with converter for 1k shipped, with 5 year warranty.
