Lost 2nd Gear

[SHOTUNES]

I have a 93 ATX w 70,000 org. Trans. Let sit 10 days and when I did drive it shift from 1st then no shift just rpm raise to 6000. Let off gas then shift into I think third. Let the car sit 2 days and now it shifts into 2nd. Is the trans finally shot or what? Fulid looked fine.

sounds like my problem, see '2nd and 3rd gear slips'. But mine would shift to 2 and 3 but would slip. I dropped the pan and found broken metal. Has it had the trans fluid/filter done? I would start with that. I'm probably driving to Schaumburg, IL to buy one from Roadmaster. They quoted $800 w/24/24 warranty. Anyone heard of Roadmaster trans?

buy ya an MTX with a bad motor and swap the 3.2 over.

I'm waiting for my 3.0L in my Gen 1 to start going south so I have an excuse to do this with a 3.2 parts car I have here.

man, I paid 3K for a brand new tranny + labor when my diff pin exited the tranny, taking a large part of the casing with it. I'm just lucky it (diff pin) shot down instead of up... or back... I really don't think a firewall would've stopped it. :|

anyhoo, yeah, a 3.2 swap is the way to go.
