The 3/4 clutch is burned up. This is the weak link in this transmission. The fix it to remove and tear down and beef it up with a few mods for increased strenght and durability. There is a long list of things to do to keep it on the road and off the lift. If you want a list PM me and I can fix u up with all the goodies to get it right.

Not a Trans Am and no idea if this is relevant to them, but 7 months ago I lost 3rd and 4th on an A4 transmission... ended up being that the transmission control computer module had somehow gotten screwed up; replaced it and everything went back to normal.
