It's rebuilt with less than 8k miles on it. So after I rebuilt my engine and hopped it up my tranny goes out. My car sound in second gear going 50mph and rolling on the throttle to the floor. So the car gets it.

It was wet outside and I spin in 1st, shift into 2nd and it spins, shift into third and the shifter area is making noise and grinds the gear a lil. I had to limp the car home.

Now the way the car drives, it gets stuck in gear, sometime can't find gear unless the car is off. Hard to get into gear sometime, reverse is fine and fifth. When driving in gear, car shakes a lil and I can hear and feel it in the shifter that something isn't catching right like something is hitting it rotational wise.

I know I need to open it up really to tell but what can I expect?
