I think my tranny is getting bad..
Ever since I owned the car it has had the odd Rev and clunk. Now though it's starting to shudder under light load when turning from a stop sign. It's done it a few times over the last week or so. I have a lew tune and at first it made it better but now the symptoms are coming back. Ive also noticed ever since I got lews tune it's shuddered a little the odd time under a wot run going from 1st to 2nd.
Is my tranny on its way out or will it just continue to this crap for a while?
And what's the bare minimum I can get from TEP to repair/fix the issue? I don't have a whole lot of money right now so it's hard for me to do an entire overhaul.

Bad news, sorry for your troubles. My tranny lasted about a month when that begun. I was at a stop light and it just sat there. I moved the shifter a few times got very lucky, she went into 4th gear and I made it home.

While everyone here seems to use TEP, I bet that is going to be expensive to ship to New Jersey from Canada. Surely there has to be someone more local who could do something decent. I have had this rev/clunk for almost 3 years now in my car, just hit 105k. Read this post I made, maybe this could help. Its been about a month since I did this and my car is much better, the rev/clunk has not come back since. Its for sure not fixed but what I did helped and it may help yours as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

Round trip shipping for a transmission is around 350 dollars. I will tell you right now, any local transmission shop you take it to will replace the bear minimum , i bet if you ask how much an extended warranty is it will be around 600 bucks. They then use this money to replace more parts to prevent your return. I know because one of my tenants works for an eagle transmission and i STILL send my transmission to Dave.

Transmission shops around here don't know a whole lot about these cars just from personal experience when I was getting a tranny cooler.
