Transmission problem?
I put a question mark after transmission problem only because this problem came out of nowhere and I've never known a tranny problem to do that. Basically after the car sitting for 3 days I get in it today and whenever i put it under heavy load it starts jerking and feels like the transmission is slipping. Doesnt matter what gear its in. It almost feels like the TC is coming on but its obviously not. Can anyone help diagnose my problem [:@]

If it's a T45...
- there's no filter.
- and "tc"? - torque converter? I hope you don't mean that.
If it's a manual trans and it feels like it's slipping, it's probably a worn clutch. Put your car in fourth gear at a stop, rev it up to 4,500 RPMs, and dump the clutch. You should stall immediately. If yoy don't stall right away, you need a clutch.

i believe you remove the bottom portion of the tranny case, and you should see the filter. im not sure on a t45 im a 4r70w

As far as the clutch being the issue, Ive never had a problem with it. It goes into gear perfectly and never grinds or pops out. The car only has 45k (babied) miles on it.
