5spd Lex Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 sorry i'm not experience with tranny diagnosis but i'd recommend a 5 speed swap when you have the money!! =] Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 God I wouldn't The E52/53 swap costs more than running a fully built race automatic transmission LoL! Besides. For less than the cost f the swap you can just buy a 92-93 factory M/T online. They're only worth 3500-4500 to begin with. Miguel change/flush the fluid & adjust the kick-down cable if needed. If it will move in reverse without slipping, but slips in drive. Add another quart of fluid to however much is already in there. You may be reading incorrectly. Sometimes they're just a !Removed! to read & you wind up a quart, or two low. (If you pull the dipstick out & it's foamy. Then you have too much fluid.)

Any help will be appreciated.:cries: I had EXACTLY the same thing happen on my 92 ES (which is how I came to own it) Turns out, it was the radiator and not the trans that was bad. Fortunately, I was able to return the trans I bought and replace the radiator for about $134.00. rosie There is an explanation for that but I can't remember it well enough.

Toysrme Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 ^^ Radiator also cools the transmission fluid. If her radiator was bad, the fluid would overheat. Don't think I've ever heard of the ATF passage clogging, but that would also cause it. Let the car idle until warm. Hold the brake & shift the transmission into each gear position for a few seconds. Does it move in reverse without slipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it move in reverse without slipping? Yes Reverse Works just fine, the problem is the rest of the gears D, 2, L nothing happens when I put the it in those gears.

rosecityrain Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 That would be great, any more infor in the matter will be greatly appreciated, what exacly you have done on the radiator? It was simply replaced. New fluid, of course. (before the rad replacement, it worked just fine until it was warmed up. Then, only reverse worked properly) rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
