    Help a guy out please(tranny question)

    Whenever i am driving my car is shifting shitty. It is an automatic. It seems like it never wants to go into the next gear. It rarely goes into 4th (which is the last gear i believe). Anyways whenever i drive it fluctuates in between gears and stuff and in result uses ALOT of gas up and rides shitty. Anyways my dad says it might be my transmission switch or something? what do u guys think? how much do these ususally run? thanks

    sounds to me as if yout TV cable is out of adjustment... needs to be fixed or you may damage your transmission... you really aught to drive it over and let me fix it... cheaper than the shop

    Your TV cable might need to be adjusted. And I don't know for sure but I thought there were only 3 speeds in the automatic. I could be wrong b/c I have a stick shift.

    when was the last time you had the tranny serviced? sounds like you might have a dirty trans filter.

    really?? I thought you just have to take off the bottom plate to replace them....i thought i read here somewhere that the filter was replaceable as a standard service replacement. Not some huge rebuild job. . . . . if its really that comlicated a change of fluid might help.

    no the filter is not replaceable without rebuilding the tranny, you need to spit the case to get at it. So it never goes into 4th anymore? If it never goes into 4th you might have a blown 4th clutch or leaky drum
