first, none of us can help, with such a vague, and short, account. Second, doing it by e-mail keeps others from learning. and 3, you need a friendly attitude on here.

I wasn't offended, and I hope I didn't offend you. But your second post in this thread reminded me of something from another forum. I quote:
" Just because we're *&^holes doesn't mean we won't help, but we need more info."
That's really not helpful to your problem, but so far nothing is like any of the dozen transmission failures I've dealt with.

Re: Need Help With 88 Camaro RS V6 2.8 Trans

You've given us nothing but convoluted explanations and misspelled words to work with. You haven't even mentioned if it's manual or automatic! You are making assumptions that we know certain things when we don't.

What do you mean "locked up"? Explain in detail EXACTLY what happened, how fast you were going, what gear you were in, etc etc etc and what the car does CURRENTLY when you try to drive.

Can we assume the transmission in question if the one in the picture? If so, many "transmission" problems are actually clutch problems. Was it freshly rebuilt BEFORE you had the problem? Is this a stock setup?
