93CutlassSupreme Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 got my Cutlass back from a local trans shop yesterday i took it in because the shifter would pop out of 5th gear, sometimes would refuse to go into any gear at all, the trans would make a loud ass grinding noise when the clutch was engaged, the car would buck under no throttle while in gear, and a couple times the trans just locked up and i couldn't move the car shop told me some sun gears were fucked up in the trans, didn't say what ones anyways i had them put in a used trans and a new clutch, and the car drives normally. first is hard to get into sometimes, but the rest are fine, and i figure i'll be alright if this car can go a few more months without anything expensive breaking.

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 sounds good...If its only hard to get into first under motion, I think that is normal...I know my Dad's GT 5.0 Mustang acts just like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Good to hear she's running again!! I'd say the first gear thing is pretty normal - my RX-7 is sometimes difficult to down shift from say 2 to 1 gear when approaching a red light or something...never thought anything of it - Jeff L.

JoroCorona Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I'm pritty sure its just the interlock not letting you into first until a certain speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
