Been resurrecting my 87GN and could use some advice.
Finally got the car running, went for quick drives and car seemed to run and shift fine under boost.
Decide to drive 40 miles to get more small things done and on the way the car felt like the converter stayed locked at a stop and bogged the engine down. The entire trip, while going slow the car would shift terrible and just feel real sluggish.
Car rests and I drive it and car will break up over 8lbs of boost and not shift into 3rd.
End up putting gas in the car and adjust the TV cable and car is smooth, shifts fine, and will shift at WOT.
Have the transmission fluid and filter changed, Was told the fluid looked good at first but towards running out it started to become brown.
After transmission service was told the 1,2,3 shift seemed too fast.
Drove the car myself and couldn't notice a problem. Watch the RPM's with the scanmaster but nothing seemed too out of line.
Car has tires put on and told that there is an amount of trans slippage.
I drive the car myself and notice the slipping is bad from a stop to 1st, going into 2nd and have to let off before it will go into 3rd.
TV Cable was told to be not set right (should have been done right the first time) and adjusted again but still major slippage in all gears.
Was told there wasn't material in the pan when filter was changed but on Saturday I plan on dropping the trans to have it rebuilt.
Any ideas if changing the fluid set all this in motion? One recommendation is the the factory converter is gone. How would I know?
