Ok this is my sisters 99 ls1 SS with 60K miles

on engine and trans recently the trans has been slipping she went 2 drive it the other day and some reason the car no longer goes in to 2nd gear just goes 1,3,4

What do I need 2 do.. Anyone no of a shop in the Houston TX/Friendswood/Clearlake area that can fix just the 2nd gear of the car.

Or would I have better luck just buying a used 01 or 02 ls1 Auto trans.?.
And if so how much am I lookin 2 spend??

Or having someone 2 a rebuilt on this one.?
And if so how much am I lookin 2 spend??

And is it ok 2 still drive with the trans the way it is?

Any help would be great car is a daily drive.

Losing the 2/4 band before 2-3 clutch is rare. I'd look into shift solonoid problems before opening up the transmission.

You can almost always do an overhaul depending on 1 major factor:
How much metal debris is in the tranny.

Too much metal = new/new used unit. Nearly impossible to remove all metal debris from the converter. You will not know for sure until the pan is dropped, maybe even torn down.

You say it still shifts from third to fourth. For this reason, focus on the valve body, specifically the accumulator piston and the shift valve.
