95 Mustang Transmission problem

[EndingLife]

Hello, I own a 95 mustang GT Automatic it has some bolt-ons. GT40 intake, full exhaust, underdrive pullies. Last week when i got off of work i was taking off to drive home, and noticed the car acting sluggish. I stopped at a light, took off normal, and could tell it was taking off in second gear, it wouldnt really go over 2k rpm until i was at about 25-30mph. So I get close to my house, and stop at a stop sign, put it in 1st gear manually and it just revved, it barely inched up a little, felt as if the front brakes were locked stopping the car from going, i didnt try to take off hard, just a normal take off and it wouldnt go. I can definately feel it's taking off in second gear instead of first. Can anyone help me? Was thinking of a rebuild, buying a whole transmission. Wondering if first gear went out completely, or if it could be something else. Would a transmission fluid/filter change be any help?

Problems like that usually spell the end of the tranny so I think a rebuild is on the cards.

I thought this post was familiar - check out his thread in Talk. The solutions we posted are the same - you're going to need a rebuild. If you have a shop you trust, get the tranny rebuilt. If not, there are some nice transmission to be bought online. All depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

going to guess the OWC died, this will prevent 3rd usually, make 1st hard to engage, and lock 2nd most of the time.
