Tranny not shifting
 

I'll try to make this short and sweet. My '84ZXT has been having trouble losing fluid. I think the modulator might be bad and I'm going to replace it pronto. However now it won't shift out of 2nd unless i really stomp on the gas. It also has that cool little switch where the shift patterns change and the gears will stay engaged when letting off the gas. Well, I checked that switch and it was in the off position, but stayed in 2nd. I even toggled the switch a few times to be sure it wasn't stuck. Yes, I checked the fluid and added some before my test drive this evening. My wife discovered this "new" problem. Any help would be immensley appreciated !!!!!!!! Thanks----Lynn

Ok....since no one had any advice for me.....my Z is now parked at an AAMCO awaiting a complete tranny rebuild. Let's cross our fingers and hope that this is $1500 well spent.
BIG plus.....this shop is a member of the Z club of Dallas.

OUCH! Don't have an automatic. So I was clueless. I just bought a tranny though. Gonna go finish puttin it in today. So I fell you about tranny problems. Except mine didn't go.... Not that it wouldnt' shift. haha. Although if you could have gotten here to Abilene, I could have gotton a good transmission for $50 for an auto.

That's cool.....the tranny had over 150,000 miles on it anyway. The good thing is that this particular shop is a member of Z Club Of Texas (ZCOT) and does a lot of work for them......I guess I need to cough up the $40 bucks and become a member to get my 20% off!!!!

Re: Tranny shifting now!!
 

I get my '84t outta the shop on Monday!!!!! Let's hope it works good!! They had to get the torque converter from Nismo...(2750 lbs. was the only available....ooffa..). Hope to get this on a track soon!!! Hopefully this was $2,000 well spent.....................................
