Hey guys,
I have a 98 LSC with almost 150K miles on the original transmission, and it developed some major problems.
I can shift it into reverse, and it shifts nice and strong and drives fine. However, when I shift into D, it just acts like nothing happened (except the RPMs go down just a tad), and doesn't engage at all. If I give it a little gas, it just revs like it's in neutral. However, if I give it some more gas, and bring it up to 3-4K RPMS a few times, it engages, and I can then drive it forward OK. As I'm revving it trying to get it to engage, there is rather loud high-pitched whistling sound that gets louder with the revs.
I did have a slow fluid leak, and I was topping it off over the last couple of months. I made sure I filled it up all the way, but it still doesn't make it shift right.
Is it time for a new tranny? What would cause it to engage once I rev it up? What's making the whistling noise?
Thanks!
