Guest alex_houston Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I just got the blue '89 in Houston. I have some investigating to do now and I am sure someone will help me for grins.The hood emblem is the large dia like a 90-91. Was it only the '88s that had the small one? Trans works OK when first started but later will not go into gear and/or slips. Doesn't act like bad clutches and fluid is good color. I would almost guess a stopped up filter. Any thoughts?Thanks.

DAVES89 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The '88 hood emblem is the only year with the small size. I am assuming the fluid level is good. Then yes I would start with the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hey guys, What is the diameter of the '88 hood emblem? I have a '88 model but the diameter seems large to me. I may have a '89 or later hood and/or emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_barra Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sea Foam makes a cleaner type additive for transmissions. Trying a can of that in your transmission wouldn't hurt anything and may help. Has the car not been driven much lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex_houston Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I will likely wait until January after deer season and it has cooled off a little. Then it will be nicer under a car here. I have decided to pull the tranny pan and check the filter before I do anything else. If that is not the problem, I will likely just swap out the tranny. I have plenty laying around. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
