Auto Transmition 3rd gear not working
 

I have a 96 corvette with automatic transmission. I was on the high way and passing someone. Then the 3rd gear and overdrive gears did not catching. Now I only have 1st and 2nd gear. When it trys to go into 3rd, it just spins, like it is in neutral, it will not give me 3rd gear. I drove the car home in 2nd gear and it is stilling in my garage. No leads, has oil. What is the problem? What can I do?

Peter, my 96' did the same thing at about 175,000 miles. Had to have it flat bedded to "my favorite tranny shop". I wish I had a better answer for you. Sometimes they give up the ghost early and some, not so early (175,000 miles). Good luck.:thumbs:

Did they have to rebuild the tranny, and if so what did it cost?

Good question just happened to a friends 94 while the club was on outing today. No 3rd / OD

:lurk:

Same thing happened to me- lost 3rd & 4th and it required a rebuild.

Make sure you take it to a reputable transmission shop, which can be hard to find. My guy talked the talk, but it was slipping two years later.

:sadangel: Sorry to see that for you so early in the spring. Good luck.
