Hey man ,sounds like you have nothing to loose w/the old one.Sounds like maybe a valve body issue. valve body is responsiable for shifting ,and shifting into gear. Do this!!! Get a can of seafoam auto trans tune($7 advance auto parts). Dump it all in as you say goodby to the trans.Idle the engine for 45 minutes ,shifting it occasionally.If you got any hope at all, this is it! Sea foam is the ticket to clean out crud and loosen up a long dormant auto trans.Good Luck |
