These
recommendations do not
cover all possibilities.
They are some things to
check before you have
your transmission rebuilt. Always
check transmission fluid level first. Always run
a scanner on any computer controlled transmission. On
modulated transmissions make sure they have enough vacuum.

The transmissions above are front wheel drive, 3 speed automatics. Common
problems are: The transmission shifts soft and early. It shifts hard and late.
Always check the throttle pressure cable that goes from your transmission to your carburetor or throttle body depending on the configuration of your engine. This controls the shift points and sometimes the cable can be no good or out of adjustment.

transmission shifting erratic, slipping or not shifting at all. Also
the check engine light can come on.
External sensors like the throttle position sensor, vehicle speed sensor quite often go bad, causing these symptoms. Check the

Always run a
scanner first to see if a sensor is causing your problem.
