I think my tranny bit the big one. Originally I was getting a hesitation at WOT, but when driving normally it was fine. I thought it was ignition/fuel problem. I took my car to get rear end gears changed and now the tranny will not shift into third. Checked the fluid and it definitely need changed, changed fluid (5 quarts) and filter but didn't help. I assume the t.v. cable is set right since the car will shift from 1 to 2. Just wondering if there is anything I can do before getting a new tranny. Thanks everyone.

stock rebuild will be about $1500-$1800 from a shop, and make sure you get a good converter not a crappy stock one. stallion from precision, no less than 3000 stall. also consider a lentech aod here

I agree, sounds like high gear clutch pack gone.
