Trans won't shift out of first

[200MPHClub]

Trans was slipping some of the shifts recently and while I've been looking for another trans it now won't shift out of first at all. Really haven't done much in terms of troubleshooting it yet, been just too busy, but I will say the trans fluid definitely smells burnt and is a bit of a dark red/brown color.

I'm figuring with the problems it was having that it's pretty much dead but just wondering if there might be any easy remedies? Will probably drop the pan tonight/tomorrow and see if the governor spring fell out, but any other thoughts....other than rebuilding it :frown:

Could be the governor spring or you have low pump pressure which could be caused by a lot of things. Sounds like it's time for a rebuild.
