I have a 95 gt and this morning on the way to work I was going up a hill that I do every day and it took a bit longer to shift. Once I got to the top and leveled out I realized I didnt have 3rd gear anymore. I tried shifting it manually and it still didn't catch. Could I be looking at a new transmission or what could it be?

it would help if you would tell us what transmission we are dealing with, stock AOD?

SS_Eater88

yes it's the stock aod. today when I took it in the fluid smelled burnt and there were plenty of shavings stuck to the magnet. I was quoted $800 just to take it out and check it and the work would be a minimum of $1000

You might want to consider swapping out to a T5 transmission.

SS_Eater88

well i really did consider that but I'd still have to pay somebody to do it (due to lack of room and shop) and add the parts and its more than my budget is

you have an aode, check codes and make sure no shift selonoid codes exist for that gear, if none exist, 3rd gear clutch pack may have given up the ghost

id swap in a 4r70w if youre gonna replace it with an auto

SS_Eater88

well right before they pulled the pan they ran it and said they didnt find any bad codes. I decided I'm just gonna get rid of it cause I really just cant afford it here
