Default UGH..Need Transmission Help

1989 L98 automatic. First gear(low) car pulls great, 2nd gear same, put it in 3rd and almost nothing. Never gets to overdrive.


I just changed the injectors and EGR valve. Starts and runs ok now, went to take it for a drive and now this. Today was the first drive since last fall. No transmission leaking on the garage floor.

What happened?

Thanks

Got a great recommendation for a good tranny if you want one. I live near this guy's shop. He gave me a great discount for bieng a veteran on an already low-cost 700R4 rebuild. He also offers up to a lifetime warranty on his transmissions depending on your horsepower. The guy's name is "Mad Dog" lou, he owns and operates a shop out of Tarpon Springs, Florida. He really knows a good bit, been doing transmissions since he was 18. www.Maddog-Transmissions.com . He's a fellow 'vetter himself. Tell him Michael, the owner of "Black Ice", the C4 'vette sent 'ya. (727) 943-7742.

I was afraid of that. I guess it's an excuse to put in a shift kit.
