In December, my 95 SL2 DOHC (92k miles) began having problems. After it warmed up it would shift hard (like it revved past where it should shift) from 1-2 and 2-3. Reverse was gone after it warmed up.
I paid a trans service center $300 to tell me I had a bad valve body and torque converter.
I let my car sit til februaury. I got a junk trans from junkyard for $350 w/80k miles & 6 mo warranty.
The local community college I attend was going to replace it for free! They never got to it!
Kind of glad they didn't, because I heard they do one hell of a sh*t job!
Thats OK, I had wanted to do it myself anyway, but now I wasted 2.5 months.
So 3 weeks ago, I took 2 days and did the swapping myself. Everything went well. Or so it seemed. I took it around the block and it leaked like mad!!. It seemed to be coming from the Torque converter/Flywheel inspection plate. I figured it was a bad o-ring. This past weekend I took it back off, replaced the torque converter o-ring and it still leaks (not nearly as much though). I have put 2 different type of STOP LEAK in it!
Any suggestions? If I can't fix it I'll return the trans and either rebuild the old one or get another one from 6th planet. ANY IDEAS/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS?
