A. G. Olphart Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Some possibilites (there are likely others, I don't run a tranny shop). I'd pull the tranny dipstick, both to check fluid level, and to smell it. If the fluid is nice and pink or even sort of a root beer color with no burned odor, you may be lucky... if you have a high stall converter it might be that your only problem is in the torque conveter control valve, either bad or not being actuated. That would have you running down the road at an abnomally high rpm due to an unlocked converter. Count the shifts too... is 4th gear really there? Bright clean fluid and no 4th gear could be crud in the valve body. If the fluid smells burned, it's gonna need a rebuild soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
