Whats up forum? Thought I would ask you guys what you would do. Bought an awesome 1993 LX 5.0 vert back in August. Perfect condition. The only bad thing is that it's an automatic. Was driving fine until about a month ago. Shifts to first and second fine, when it trys to shift to 3rd gear it won't shift, or catch, and sounds like it's in neutral. I think I might have lost 3rd gear in my pony. But i'm hoping I don't need a new tranny. Is there anything I should check or do to the tranny to see if that fixes the problem? Your help would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance, Matt

 

Something that serious requires a shop, esp. w/ an auto, there's very little an owner can do....

 

check the fluid...,smell it,is it red or brown? is it low?...you never said if it will shift to 4th.....could be a convertor,pump,or bands

 

go a shop and have it looked at and then come back and write what the problem is to see if anyone here knows how to fix it...

 

I think ammco will check them for free and give you a written est....then atleast you can call around and get prices on the fix

 

Hey Vfast, it won't get through 3rd to go to 4th. All other gears work except for 3rd.

 

It really sounds like you need to take it to the shop for them to look at it.
