Saturday, my wife drove it to town, again in 3rd. We got in it later that evening & 3rd was gone, she said it acted sorta strange, but her being nervous about any cars, I figured I'd see when we left. Well I saw!! & REALLY didn't like what I saw.
Fluid is full & fairly clean, looks to be a year or so old. No burnt smells.
Hocrest, the Leggy was bitten by the EJ25 HG gods.

Do you mean by “would not hold power” that the transmission slips? You mention specific speeds. is the problem RPM or road speed dependent?
By “third is gone”, do you mean that there is now no drive at all in third and presumably in fourth as well?
