Messed up Overdrive ! PLEASE HELP !

[93 Fo SHO]

I have a 93 ATX and my tranny has been acting up latly. It only does it between 45 and 55. Like when it first goes into Overdrive. It starts to buck,or Sputter a little almost like a Misfire. After I stop and take off a few times it wont even go into Overdrive. Do I need a Tranny rebuild or could it be something electrical? Any help would be great.

Run your codes and look for anything relating to the Vehicle speed sensor. It controls Torque converter lock up. Any other symptoms? Does it shift normally otherwise? Does it clunk as you are coming to a stop?

All I can say is 93ATX's are notorious for the clip on the overdrive band going bad and engaging overdrive. (I speak from personal experience)

I let mine go for too long, and O/D was completly toasted and 3rd gear was well on its way. The end result was a $3000 bill from my tranny guy. But I used it to my advantage...Shift Kit and now a solid tranny.

If I were you, I would take it in to get it looked at ASAP!

Uh oh, sounds like the classic VSS. There's a reason it's going bad. Get it now before it bites you in the ass with $3K in a full rebuild shoot

My car did it about four times and on the fourth time the tranny let go. GET IT CHECKED quick. My rebuild in SOCAL was $2510.00 and that was gettin the benifit of being in the Military.
