Transmission Slipping 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be LarryB on  Tue Sep 20 09:15 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I noticed that when the car was started in the morning for the first time, the transmission would not shift out of first gear automatically. I live in San Francisco, so we are not talking about really cold weather. I did a transmission flush a 3-4 months ago, but it did not change. This weekend I checked the fluid (cold) and found it overfilled, but I did not have time to drain it. Last night I got about five blocks, the check engine light came on, and the upshift arrow started blinking. The transmission was slipping in all but the manually shifted first gear.

I'll check the error codes tonight, but does anyone have any leads and potential costs. A websearch on another forum hinted it might be a switch under the batter. The car has about 85,000 miles - I don't drive it much.

Thanks
