AT Oil Temp warning light usage started in 1995. Yes, on earlier models (like your '93) it's the ''POWER'' light that flashes on start-up if the TCM senses an electrically-related trans problem.

Is there any other possible problem instead ?(just grasping for an easier fix...LOL) I read quite a bit of old posts ...some with nice pics...last week move the exhaust (I think i'll drop the complete exh from the motor) drop the exh shield remove the drive shaft? (is there any fluid that comes out?) next? there is probably a tranny support right under this piece (whats this piece of the tranny called BTW?) Do i block up the tranny and remove this support brace then take what is probably 12 or so bolts off? then tap this part off? How much is a duty C (I don;t know that I really need it as the light was not flashing and I am selling the car not keeping it) What parts do i need (gaskets?)...anything else? I saw the picks of the grinding that has to be done Will the parts come out with the tail piece of tranny or remain under car? thanks for the help from anyone that has done this Oh....is there more room to work with the front wheels on ramps or the back wheels (it aint a lot of room either way LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Do all the tires match tread depth, tire size, and pressure? Get those right. Sometimes torque bind goes away if all of that is take care of. Has the fluid ever been changed? One drain and refill doesn't get much fluid out keep in mind. Torque bind often goes away with that, I fixed one like that just this year. Last option: After those important things have been addressed then you can add GM Limited Slip additive (there's an entire thread, even a couple, on here about that). After that you need a used rear housing or new clutches. Duty C is optional in your case since yours is working. Price it out and see how you feel about replacing it while you're in there.

It's an automatic New clutches? I thought it was a matter of just the grinding these spots (in pic) Edited September 20, 2009 by bgambino spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
