Thread: NOOB Question about Grand Prix GT

I just bought this car (1998 Grand Prix GT) and i have only driven it maybe 30 miles and the problem i am having is that when i put the car in (D) it will not go its like its in neutral, but if it is in (1) or (2) it will go and i can just shift up from 1 to 2 to 3 to D and it will be fine just when i get to the next stop i have to do it all over again. I have read thru some of the threads and never saw anything quite like what im experiencing, and I would really like to know if there is a fix or what i should look into? I haven't driven it on the freeway it seems alot of people have issues with 4th/OD. And also alot of the threads say message dave or someone on here so i don't know who that is or anything so any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys!

Really the band? I figured if the band broke it would looks forward gears all together? Well i guess if im going to be doing a rebuild what are all the rebuild kits? i have seen so many on this site so far what ones are best or where to get a good rebuilt trans?

OK so TEP sells them with the "weak points" fixed right? I mean i have heard of one of the gears that aren't hardened till after a certain year... also i just want to know if i spend the 1500 on a trans that its going to have the "weak points" fixed. I don't know a lot about these transmissions, so all help is appreciated. and also how do i know what trans to get there is the standard or basix standard, how do i choose them they sound the same to me...
