Hi,

I have a 82 Camaro w/ a 305 carb. I'm not sure which tranny though?!?!

One day I was driving to work and my tranny just stoped working in 3 and 4th gears. What happen is: If I manually shift it into 2nd it rides fine but if I put it into drive(3rd), it shifts but it doesn't hold it, I guess... The RPM's will go down when I go into 3rd, but as soon as I press on the gas it just starts reving like it's in neutral.

The only thing I can think of is a couple of months ago I broke my down-shift (detent) cable, and didn't fix it... A friend was going to help me with it but it never happen!!!!!

Is it possible that the down-shift cable caused my tranny to get out of alignment or something of the like?????

I REALLY miss my Camaro!!!!! Please can any one help me!!!

 

The cable, are you referring to the TV cable??

 

Ya it is... I just looked it out in the Hayes Manual....


What do you ithink???

 

That controls line pressure in the tranny for proper shifting, I believe it's enought to cause a loss of a gear. Though one time my came off and I believe it still shifted to 3rd gear. But you need to get it fixed or you'll need to rebuild.

 

Any ides on a price to have a shop replace and align it ???
