patzky1 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi all, My brother's 88 camaro with 160,000 won't shift into third gear anymore, only slips in the top of second. The slippage is pretty much total once it tries to go into third gear, but it holds first and second. Is there a clutch pack that may have gone bad? Or could it be a problem with a valve that is stuck? I read a little and some people fix a "no third" problem with a shift kit, which is a possibility for him. However, I saw nothing about the tranny actually slipping at the top of second, just not shifting to third. We pulled the pan and the fluid was pretty dirty so that may have been a culprit IF the prob. is a stuck valve. We then added new fluid and some tranny de-sticker/slipper to no avail. So, does anybody have any experienced words of wisdom for me/him? Should it just get rebuilt? Thanks, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
