Transmission is dieing? Today I was on the freeway going home and I put on cruise control at 70mph I had to pass another car in the next lane to get to the exit so I did. But right when I hit the gas the rpm started flying and the car advanced very slowly. Well now 3rd and 4th gear are not good past 40. I have been testing the car and I can only drive with 2nd gear. I checked the transmisson fluid and it was a little low but the dam transmission is tricky to check. Iam now in the middle of taking off the hpp3 and Im about to disconnect the battery to see if maybe cutting the battery, the pcm will reset and correct this sliping transmission. I had my sfc welded on and I told them shouldn't the negative on the battery be diconnected? And they said no, that they have not had any problems, but it has been 3 days since the weld in sfc so Im stumped, is my transmission dead or should I pour in more transmission fluid. Thanks.

man that sucks. i have a 98 with 104K and mine sometimes reads low, and sometimes ok, but i went ahead and put some in mine the other day. my fluid is RED as red could be. is yours burnt??? to bad you dont live over my way, my uncle does performence rebuilds for those trannys, for under $1,000. he has built trannys that have taken LS1 cars into the 10, so when mine needs done, he's doing it.
