aod problems

[low5.0]

when i come to a stop and then try to go again it slips out of gear.it revs up and when i let off and give it gas again it goes back into gear.if i slow down,turn and then give it gas it does the same thing.could i just get a shift kit or do i need a rebuild.cant really afford the down time but probably can get it done cheap.sorry its so long.

First thing to check with those symptoms is the fluid level.

thanks a lot The Shape.i just changed the fluid and filter and didnt read the manual well.

make sure you check the fluid with it idleing in park after it's warmed up for a few minutes......try not to over fill it either, with a filter change your probably lookin at about 5 quarts worth, give or take a little.

i hate to be the bringer of the bad news your band is most likely toast or pump mine just did this 3 weeks ago had to have the whole thing rebuilt for it to stop slipping for alittle while days maybe add a half a bottle of dot3/4 it swells the seals and cluthes

If the fluid is ok, then start saving ITS TOAST. same symptoms on my AOD when they went out.
P.S. low5.0 just saw you are from vegas also do you associate w/ any car clubs in town??

im looking at it this way if hes down on tranny fluid he most likely burt somthin out.if hes full then somthin is burt out

mine did tha same before it crapped out on me... when i'd hit tha gas it'd come out of gear... damn thing only lasted me 20,000 miles after it was rebuilt! damn AODs... finally gave me a reason to convert tho... thanks AOD
