Smoke1991 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 hello, i finally fixed my brakes and now i have a new problem. i was in manhatten today and when i was making a turn, i applied the gas and for the first time ever in my car, it sliped and then smacked into gear. ever sence then (about 2 hrs ago) my car has been shifting like shit. I currently have a different mogulator that i can adjust shift controll. I recently put it in and now im thinking it is that, so right now im going to take out the after market one and put in the original one and see what happens. Also im thinking it might be a vacume leak. Its taking its sweet time shifting into gears. anyone know where i should check for a vacume leak??? well thanks and again like all my other posts, ignore my typos.

OldsmoBeast Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 My tranny on the 97 slipped twice coming around really fast, sharp corners with the throttle at WOT and it would slam into gear and usually spin the tires a little when I started to come out of the turn...Turns out, I was due for a tranny flush and I had a slight axle seal leak...that got worse as I turned... have a shop check it out. While i have my car in the shop, its also getting new intake gasket, the famous o-ring replaced, Ball joints, and an oil change... .. not cheap, but I trust my mechanic and hopefully I can keep the car for another couple years this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke1991 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 the engine is running tip top for 160K on it, its goten worse, its just like the mechanism for changing outa first gear to second(if its vacume or whatnot) is breaking. i got first working again but i cant wot it anymore! i also can get a reman tranny for 800, but im holding off for a new car probably a blazer extreme. dont worry i got plans for the cutlass.

Guest BeausoleilRacing Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Sorry to steal this post, but on a related note... What trannys interchange in a '91 Lumina 3.1/4 speed? I have a friend that will give me a 3.8 Lesabre and I am wondering if the tranny will fit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFromColorado Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I'm about 75% sure it won't fit, as the 3800 is a 90* v6, and the 3.1 is a 60* --DFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeausoleilRacing Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 It was worth a shot... Thanks Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutlassdude96 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 that trany will bolt up to the 3.1 but its gear differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yeah, Smoke......the adj. modulator wont make the tranny slip, or blow it up. More than likey, your tranny is just toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeausoleilRacing Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 that trany will bolt up to the 3.1 but its gear differently Lower or higher? I know GM offered the 4T60 with gearing up to a 4.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
