Take and remove the 1-2 accumulator housing. This is located in the rear of the oil pan area. It will require that you remove the three 10mm headed bolts. Make sure that you do not have a broken spring or an accumulator piston. Hope fully this will be what is wrong. There is a chance that you have a band that is hurt and slipping in second, but will still hold in 4th do to there being less of a load in 4th gear.

If you still have the pan off take a peak to see if you can see the condition of the drum where the band rides. If it looks burnt, blue or scored, I'm afraid that you have a band that has failed.

Can you describe how loose?

Does it look like it is "hanging" loose from the drum?

Being able to move it a bit does not necessarily mean it is bad, loose maybe but not necessarily bad.

If thats the case then it appears as though your band has failed. Is the drum scored... like a brake rotoe would be if the pads wore too thin?
