I'm not even sure what's wrong with the car yet either. The seller said one day it just wouldn't shift past 2nd. He had bought it a few days prior to that, so isn't sure of any issues beforehand. Reverse works fine as well. If the tranny is bad, it's not that big of a deal.
My '95 is getting a 4.44 swap done this week and so I'll have a good tranny sitting around to put in. However, if it might be something else, I don't really want to overheat it...could this be a brake band issue? hmmm
