I've got a 1999 Galant 2.4L A/T. I've had two tranny's do the same thing. I'm driving down the road and then no gears, every gear is neutral. When the first tranny went out, I just bought a used one. It lasted about 80,000 miles. Did a tranny flush bout 6 months ago. For the last couple of months I've noticed that when I'm going about 70mph or so and I let off the gas a lil bit, the car jumps a few times. Then a couple of weeks ago, I notice it started shifting hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Tranny oil level was good and not burnt.
TWO QUESTIONS: 1st - Does anybody know what is causing it to keep going out like that? I've read alot of post, and from what I gather it could be the torque converter, solenoids, and/or just shot. I've taken out the tranny already and was about to replace it with ANOTHER used tranny from pullapart, but then I was like that one will probably do the same exact thing, and I still won't know what's causing it. It may just be something simple instead of replacing the whole tranny everytime, crossing fingers.
My friend's uncle owns a tranny shop and said he will look at my old one and the one I just got from pullapart but won't be able to get to it for 2-3 weeks. The one I got from pullapart was out in the weather and has some water in it, so I am a lil hesitated about putting that one in until it gets looked at.
2nd - Does anyone know what a tranny shop would charge to diagnose a tranny that is OUT of the car already? I'm just worried that I'd have to pay them just to tell me it's shot, and then I still won't know if it's really shot or they are just trying to get me to buy one from them. Thank Ya'll for any advice in advance.
