Tranny Problems ... 239k miles
Hi.
Before I did my tranny fluid drain/fill, my tranny was shifting hard. Now she's not wanting to shift out of first at all. I thought that this would go away, but it hasn't.
Is there a possible fix that doesn't involve a replacement/rebuild? Could I have done something wrong?

Make sure the filter is aligned properly. If it's a little off, it can cause it to hold a gear and/or leak. The diff wouldn't cause it to not shift, but changing the fluid would help performance and life anyway so you might as well do that. Fluid's cheap, too.

be careful to seat the filter correctly. My tranny was slipping because I used an aftermarket filter and it didn't fit 100%. I went back in and adjusted it and now it shifts smooth.

"i'm glad to report that VIPSTAR successfully changed the tranny screen and gasket and the car is shifting like a Smooth Criminal"
i was a little worried that something might turn out . it took me about 50 minutes to do the job. (ok ok. it took my friend about 50 minutes to do it) i wanted to do it but when i left walking to Autozone to pick up some brake cleaner and a scraper. he tackled it and had the whole thing off. all i did was scrape the old gasket off in some areas.
but that aside, my car shifts nice. the only thing i didn't do was change the diff fluid, and thats only bc the guys at autozone said that the tranny fluid was "da same thing for that car". i assume they know little if any about the car so i was hoping to see what other suggestions you guys give Leuth. then from there i can determine what i'll put in mine.

I may tackle the job this weekend.
Probably tomorrow afternoon. I figure I'm going to go ahead and just buy a new filter, because I have the strangest damned feeling that I'm missing a rubber fitting. I remember seeing it, but I don't exactly remember seeing it ON the damned thing before I put it in... I guess I'll find out when I take it apart. But a new filter is only like $25 so big whoop, right? I'm going to go ahead and do a new drain/fill again and not use the old stuff.
