Alrighty, So I think my tranny is on its last leg...
here are my symptoms,
When car is cold, hasnt been driven for atleast 4 hours, when put into drive, if i hit a bump, or step on the brakes, the transmssion looses line pressure and comes out of gear.. (transmission is full of fluid)
When sitting at a stop light in drive, or 1'st i have to put excessive pressure on the pedal to hold the car stopped, normal pressure can be applied if i have the car stopped in 2nd gear (idle is set to 850 in park)
When shifting from 2nd - third it will give me a big slip..
I know the slipping third gear shift is a typical c4 issue, what about the other 2?
i have a fully built reverse manual valvebody C4 mated to my other high horsepower motor but it has a 3500 stall, so i am reluctant to swap those two trannys untill i can afford another converter..
Is there anyhting i can do to prolong the life of this tranny, or deal with mainly the loosing line pressure when cold issue?
I just want to limp it into winter...
