njdrsubaru Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) So I happen to have had a mishap with water... After that the tranny lost all gears and even after changing fluids it did not help at all... What else should I do... Is the tranny toasted? Mind that it grabs first when I start. Then after 2 mnts it stops grabbing and it feels like it is in park... Edited November 29, 2009 by njdrsubaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah water damage is almost always an instant killer for automatic transmissions. It damages the clutch packs and wreaks havoc on electrical parts (shift solenoids). Can also clog up the valve body with sludge. Time for a used transmission to swap in.

3Pin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) I have a used 95 auto trans for a front wheel drive. It has 116 K on it and it shifts smooth. Just came out of donor car Friday. Are you interested? Edited November 16, 2009 by 3Pin spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
