Transmission Failure

[Cho]

Right now im kinda stuck with having to rebuild the transmission because I'm only 19 and I don't have as much knowledge as you guys do about this 4EAT trans. Maybe you guys can give me some insight on what to try first before I take it in.

The Problem:

The transmission simply wont catch the first, second, and reverse gears.

I can still drive it on D, but its very slow on the 1st and 2nd gears until it hits 3rd and drives fine the rest of the way until I slow down. Then it does it all over again.

I had a technician take a look at it before when this happened once and he adjusted the line pressure and cleaned a solenoid then the car started to shift through all the gears again.

Worked for about a month then just a few days ago it failed on me again. When I took it back to him to check it again, he could not get the gears to work again and said its most likely an internal problem and will need a rebuild.


I called around and got quotes on a rebuild and it would cost me about 2300.
