I lost first gear (intermitently) & 3rd after driving my '95 TransAm like a maniac one night. Before that event, the tranny worked perfectly, even under stress.
I let the car cool down for a couple of days and got it out again. It worked fine for a couple of miles, until it got hot. The problem reappeard and, eventually, lost 1st gear for good.
I researched and decided to start with the shift solenoids (1-2, 2-3) and oil/filter change. The problem persisted, but now I have intermitent appearances of first gear again.
The guy who did the job says the old tranny oil wasn't so dirty for a 13 year old car and did not smell "too" burned.
My next step would be learning more about the speed sensor thing.
I have no problem with getting to the rebuilding/overhauling process to fix it "all", but I dread/fear this problem will persist even so.
Please, keep discussing with whatever you can pitch in.
thanks.
