Default 2nd tranny in 165k!

2nd tranny in my 2001. started out not wanting to shift without milking the pedal at first.
Now it wont even move! Fluid is full and good color. What the hell!!??
Have the edge juice w/attitude and a few other little things. drive it around on level 1 most of the time. Interesting that both trannys took a crap around 70k!Suggestions?

did you ever adjust your bands at 30k because thats what really kills those trannies. maybe a solenoid, I dont know to much about trannies but Im sure someone will butt in and give you more troubleshooting to do.

10-4 Maintenance is the key

The key is also when you need a trans make sure you're going with the right builder.

yea if you end up rebuilding it go to someone with a reputation and a warranty, our local trans shop garanttees his rebuilds for 75K miles.
