sscoop. Go get ur tranny flushed and put some fresh tranny fluid in there. I had a car that would do the same thing every now and then and then one day i went to go somewhere and it wouldnt move. I got the tranny flushed and put in new fluid and it was like new. kinda weird but it worked
it sounds like a plan, but i dont want to do that and it still not work. i put it in drive and it wont go anywhere. it goes to high rpms around 6k. i drop it into one and 2 and it drives but 3 and D its a no go

You've had it in for this car the moment you bought it. I don't think you really researched the car. It's like the moment you found out it was FWD and lacked aftermarket support was the moment you wanted to ditch it and go all Charger.[/QUOTE]
You're right. I didnt do my research and i told you guys that from the jump. Had i did my research i most definitely wouldnt of purchased this car. The main reason being is because of all the transmission problems i was hearing about when i got to this forum. If i would of known that i wouldnt of got it point blank

Just build the trans up....then put some DR's and a 100 Shot in it and spank the chargers.
Good advise below...the trans has a filter that needs to be replaced...just drop the pan and change the fluid/filter yourself if you want to go that route.

You would be wise to spend the time to do this and have it still not work, on the off chance that it DOES work... who knows it could end up saving you thousands. Always trouble shoot the cheap/easy things first.

What in the hell is a "lazy shift"? The previous owner of my car said when he had the tranny rebuilt they installed a shift kit, I think it shifts really smooth so I really do not know if I should believe him haha.

what im going to do is get this transmission rebuilt because i cant afford a new one. what i saw when i opened the hood this morning was that my tranny fluid was burnt and where i pulled the dipstick out it was smoke so my trans was all f'd up. the car just cant catch first gear at all
Buy a worked valvebody, input shaft, and clutch packs from TEP to have them put in the trans when you rebuild it. Also invest in a shift kit (Nachoss is selling one) and a trans cooler to keep the new one from going this route.

Why spend even more money on something that is proven to be detrimental to these transmissions?!
OP: Since you're in a serious bind and cannot wait on the good things coming, I suggest that you purchase what AlabamaGuy suggested.

I just gave GM Customer Service a call and the C.S rep was real nice. She did tell me however that i have to get a diagnosis on the vehicle before she could go to her higher power and get a verdict.
