Transmission
I have an '84 GL =
(automatic). I started
noticing that it wasn't shifting out of 2nd. I decided to check =
the ATF
and found the stick to be completely dry. It took 2 3/4 quarts =
to bring
it up to the MAX hole. It seemed to drive better. I took =
it out
the next day and drove about 30 miles round trip and it was doing it
again. I checked the ATF again when I got home and it was down =
to half
way between the MAX and MIN holes. I checked underneath and =
could see
about five different drops around the pan. I ordered a new pan =
gasket
and changed it and cleaned the screen. It appears to be leaking =
from
somewhere else. Plus, it still won't go out of 2nd. =
How serious does this sound? =
What must I
look forward to? Any help or ideas would be much =
appreciated.
Thanks.
