Alright guys, my '98 auto 3.0l has had some weird shifts since i bought it back around fall. I finally realized that transmission fluid was leaking into my coolant (through the trans-cooler inside the radiator) after i started noticing the hard shifts more frequently. I replaced my radiator and now have no more leak, along with changing out all coolant and trans fluid.
However, i still have a really nasty 2-3 shift. As in, the rpms will fly up 300-400 before hammering back into gear. Other than that, the rest of the shifts seem ok, if not a little better than before. I'm just not sure if i can put in some Lucas trans fluid stop-slip or something and let it go, or if i should look at getting it overhauled or a new one before it locks up on me?
I hate transmissions... they seem too complicated.
