its not shifting well at all. i dont know what to do. i priced out transmissions on CL and they are goin bout $450 to $500 for a decent one. is it worth it or should i just go to a trans shop and get mine rebuilt? i cant even describe my problem i'm having in text.

if you have the know how wich i think i remember you said youre a mechanic right? trannys cost nothing to rebuild. my sugg. to you is get a shitty used one to keep it mobile. get all your parts. and rebuild the one you have. use good high quality parts, you could also throw in all the performance parts you want and youll still be under the $$ of having a shop pull it rebuild it and re-install it. get a manual and if you do it yourself youll know its done right. no corners were cut and then you have a spare one too if anything happens or you could re-sell the used one. tranny shops make a shit ton of coin because people are intimidated of automatics but theyre not that bad. |

Yeah I am a mechanic but I'm not a big fan of auto trans. I'm looking around for a decent used one but I don't even have the cash for one. |

To cut the cost remove it and install yourself, just drop it off to get rebuilt and pick it up when finnished. Simple enough to do and will cost about the same as buying a used one that you have no clue if it will be a POS when you finally get it in. Been there, Done that.... Dont waste your time throwing in another crap tranny. |

Thanks TC but I really think its more than a valve body issue at thos point. It don't want to shift from 1st and when it does it slips. I can't get 3rd or 4th at all in the past two days. I think I'm just gunna get a used trans to throw in and maybe rebuild the one that is coming out. |

Well got my nice used trans tonigh after 3hr drive there and a 3hr drive back. Just got home at 2:15am. I hope it was worth it. Came out of a t-boned 2001 ram 1500 with a 5.9 4x4. Wish me luck. |

04-yeah i hear that. i'll try not to.snailz07 -it wasnt too bad. would have been easier with my air tools cause every bold i had to remove was tighter than hell. but other than that and doing it on the ground it was not that bad. |
