Thread: No first gear

i have an 04 gtp comp g with 134k miles. when i put it into drive nothing happens, engine just revs up. When i put it in manual mode it will kick into first gear but when i hit the gas it slips. once i get it moving and into second gear i can then put it back into drive and it will go into 3rd and 4th fine. I was low on fluid so i filled it up. I am assuming that is why i am having this issue now. Any idea's on maybe what part is bad? i was told it could be the forward band??? i really don't want to do a complete rebuild if i don't have to.

IF you got no D and it slips and skips into second when in manual mode, to me its saying you need a rebuild.

This ^^^^
Just happened to me last month. Needed a full rebuild.

yeah im sure it is completely filled up now. as for the rebuild i really didn't want to go that route but from what everyone has been saying i think that is the way to go. i have one quote of $1550 and will take about a week. to me that sounds a little high price and a long time. What would a decent price be for this?
