91 LS400 Transmission shop recommendations
So as soon as i drop off the gf my tranny starts to give out and doesnt want to move much any more. I have 221K on the motor and the tranny fluid looks dark red/black so i'm guessing the tranny is giving out.
My questions is does anyone in Socal know of any good quality tranny shops near Rosemead/San Gabriel???

it sure sounds like your fluid is giving out. maybe do a fluid drain and fill, and clean the filter, to see if that improves things. there are lots of threads on tranny fluid replacement.

Tranny still slips at random times. I drive out for about 50 miles and it decided to slip. I tried to cycle the key and it decided to work fine. Any ideas?

okay, so i read a bunch of threads and i had the same symptoms as a couple of other people.
1. tranny squealing
2. " slipping
so i changed the tranny filter and soaked two of the 4 solenoids and so far it has been doing fine. its just the first day so i'll be sure to keep with the update. If i dont have any issues with the tranny then i'll be back in 3k miles.

I soaked then in PB Blaster. I did the same as another member. There wasn't any real problem with my solenoids but I did it anyways since I changed my tranny filter.
