sorry.. i hit sometime wrong while typing... i had made a new post after that... but here's a copy and paste if you didn't see it...
i've got a 1989 RS with a the 305 tbi and 700r4 combo. i have a high idle all the time and on cold starts, I can't shift into overdrive. When I do, it acts like it's in neutral. it'll shift into overdrive at 35-40mph from a cold start, but if i stop at a red light, it'll act like it's in neutral. it'll go into overdrive after it warms up good and even then sometimes is stubburned. if i'm going 60+mph and gun it, it'll rev out.. it's slipping i know that, but would that cause the car not to catch in overdrive on a cold start? i know it needs to be rebuild... but i can't shell out the cash right now. i don't know squat about trannys so i hope someone out there can help me out.
Thanks and happy holidays.
