Tranny Shifting

I've got an 89 regal with about 376000Kms (236000miles) on it. Its got a 4spd AOD tranny that has never been rebuilt or replaced. Anyways, when i accelerate hard from 30-40 km/h (15-22)MPH, the engine revs up, but the tranny seems to slip just a little bit. It only does this in this speed range. Could a fluid/filter change correct this?

 

PS: I would never think of putting any additives in the tranny.

err, it MIGHT be your tranny fluid, but heres a good check, slight accelleration under meduim throttle in a corner. if it slips there, its more then likely your tranny.

Lucas is your friend.

 

Jesus, 236k miles? And you exspect it NOT to slip? Are you on crack?

 

More then likely the trans has all sorts of issues.

 

Why would you buy something with that many miles?

because its only 1/2 dead, your new, w-bodys live forever and then some.

Change the filter, and use either synthetic tranny fluid or valvolines old age tranny fluid and see if it shifts any better.
