Okay guys I've been having some weird problems with my car and can't pinpoint what it is exactly...
I recently rebuilt the tranny (stock 96auto) few weeks later car has been acting up.
it starts to downshift or slip on its own. It does it wen it wants to some drives are perfectly fine while others are just plain bad!
I took it back to my mechanic he dropped the tranny and found no issues I took it to another and he inspected it and still nothing tranny has enough oil as well also did a oil change just to make sure. so I know now its nothing interal.
they told me to get it diagnosed but I don't got a 100 bucks rite now for it plus the parts n labor.
so I can only hope one of u has had a similar issue and fixed it and has some feed back on how to. I did take it to autozone no codes. I also took it to a mechanic that has the snapon code reader and charged me 45 bucks and nothing. Plz help guys if u need more info ill give as much as I can.
