hell_raiser Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 hi guys, i'm looking at a 95 Buick 3.8 and it only has 1st gear just wondering if this happed to any of you and how u fixed it. thanks ryan Quote
Night Fury Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I only have first and second. I am 'fixing' it by replacing it. Quote
Venom Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 If the tranny is actually toast, then just replacement. I always take tranny problems to a specialist because thats the one thing I dont work on with cars. Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Does the speedometer work? If so, It could just be the Speed Sensor that is bad. Quote
1988s10 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 i bet the tranny is toast. did this happen all at once? like one day just 1st gear? or did it just get worse over time? i'm hoping the shifting problems with my tranny are just a bad govener if not i'm pulling the tranny and buying a used one for like $350.

hell_raiser Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 im looking at buying the car im going to pull the large connector from the front to see if it go's into second. i have no idea about it. im hopeing i can get her in to second Quote
Brian P Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 no reverse either? Do you hear a rattling noise in park? IF so, a hard-part of the tranny has failed. Time for a replacement or reman. Quote
draggin1969 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 take it to a mechanic and ask them to hook it up to a diagnostics. they can whatch to see if the shift solinoids are firing or not. Quote
Brian P Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Betcha its the reaction drum. Yup, that's exactly what broke in my last tranny. Quote
