Trans slip
Hey..Problem just started..I have a 84 c4 AUTO TRANS with 70,000 miles..While driving yesterday I came to a stop light..When i pulled away tranny started to.slip. I then barely made it home only 2 miles away..Slipping in all gears including reverse..Couldnt break 15 mph..Checked fluid level and no burnt smell with proper color. ..Got up next day and car was fine for about 30 min then same problem. .I then changed fluid and filter and car was fine all night. (About 3 hours of driving) Then today (Sunday) problem returned and barely made it home..Any ideas would help..

We can't wave a wand and cure your problem. I suggested you get the pressures checked. Until you do, anything would be a guess. With the wining you describe, it may be your pump is pooched.

In post #6, the OP describes reving the snot out of it to BARELY get reverse. I would venture a guess he is beyond a maladjusted TV cable.
