so, here it is..
so i have a 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix. it has about 350k on the clock with a rebuilt transmission. A couple months ago i drove it to my national guard unit which is about 2 hrs away from me. it drove perfect with no problems. It sat for 2 weeks while i was gone for training . when i returned i drove it back home and it drove perfect until i step foot in MO. It had a hard time shifting . so i put some lucus oil stop leak/slip in it and it worked fine. I took it drag racing and it drove fine there but once again i got to the dragstrip and it was shifting weird. come to find out my transmission fluid was a little low so i filled it up on the way home. i let it sit for a couple days and went to go wash it and it shifted fine to the car wash.Upon driving it home . i got stopped at a stop light and it didn't want to go anywhere at all..i had to have one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas for it to engage into 1st gear. The same thing with reverse , had to have one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas to engage reverse. I've been told the transmisson is SHOT and i have to rebuild it again..
So i was hoping someone could help me on here.. Before we start digging into the transmission i hope its something simple.. but when i put it in drive or reverse it doesn't "shift hard" or "click" into gear.
this is a "family car" thats been in the family for almost 20 years. dont want to get rid of it but its taking up garage space.
thank you
