Tranny toast?
This could put a SERIOUS damper n the project guys...Today, i had to rotate my tires, so up on the jack the car goes. no problems. tires are rotated, bubble found in 1 tire so i put the spare on. i set it down, and tightent everything up. (i might add that the car was running off and on while on the jacks).
the front end was off angle quite a bit because i was already on a hill, and then had the front of the car jacked up. the car idled in par for a good 10 minutes (listened to the radio) while on the jacks.
anywahys, i set the car down when i was done and i get in to take a test drive to see if my pulling to the left has stoipped. i put it in drive, and take off, the car goes, then slips, then goes then slips, slips some more and then goes.
i drive it 10 miles with no problem. went in to my class...1 hr and 10 mins later i come out to go to class, back out of the parking spot (this may have been my fault) and all is well, but i go to put it in "D" and as i take off, it stumbles on itself again. the ony reason i say it couldbe me this time is because as it shifted to second, i let off the gas. after that, i went home, another 10 miles, not a hint of slip. i even floored it from one light and all was smooth as butter.
but the first time it slipped, it REALLY SLIPPED. i was afraid i wasnt going to make it up my hill. i want to add that while the car was up on jacks, i spun the drivers side tire around to make sure the wheel was straight. couls this have done it?
other than that and rotated the tires, i changed NOTHING>>>
HELP!!!
so as of now i am shopping for a remaned tranny anyone know if these guys are good?

i checked the fluid and it looked a little low, so i topped it off, about a cup or so of fluid. it is shifting better, but even when it was low, i couldnt get it to slip after that initial start after sitting for awhile...i couldnt make it slip no matter how hard i tired...i put the ECT on and punched it down the street...went all the way to 50 (wonjt say where, just that it was deserted road..speed limit 45) and smooth as ever. i mean i literally FLOORED it. spun the tires and everything...
i wonder where its leaking from?? shouldnt be the pan, just had that done by jason in december...
