Recently having problems with my trans slipping, no specific time or temp that it does it. Also noticed today after a few days of slipping that the speedometer doesn't register until I reach about 35-40 mph. Trans fluid is full, a bit burnt and no leaking from underneath. It has high mileage but still runs great. Am hoping it is a sensor or modulator or something simple. Sure can't afford a new or rebuilt one or much of anything right now!! Also wondering how to get some fluid out in order to try adding some Lucas Trans Fix.
Thank you anyone helping! Really, really appreciate it!!
