Take it to a reputable transmission shop and have them take a look at it. They'll be able to tell you whats wrong, and rebuild/fix/replace the trans if necessary.

Don't go to Aamco unless you have to - I went there to get an estimate on my trans and they were total ********

If you have a reputable local shop, have them take a look at it. If not try T-56 Rebuilds (See Sponsor List). I met Joe at the LS1Tech N vs S event. Nice guy and knows his stuff. He rebuilt Tim Tosto's Tranny that night as he messed up 2nd gear too. When it comes time, my trans will be going to Joe for a refresh.
