2000 gtp will not engage in drive but can be manually shifted into D at the right speed. tranny slipping slightly in all gears except reverse. still have all gears available but wont shift in automatically. any suggestions on what to repair since i dont have enough cash to do a full rebuild at this time. this ismy first time doing auto tranny work but considering i cant afford to have it rebuilt i thought i would give it a shot. got to learn sometime.
 


there isnt any play in the forward band and there where no pieces in the pan which as far as im aware is the main indicator of a bad fb. could it still be snapped or is there another possible issue
 
It's a bad trans lol. It's probably completely roasted inside. What's your location? I had mine built to hell for 650 bucks in parts and labor. Got a good deal.

appleton Wisconsin. but i may have a fix for my problem. a high school kid in the area is selling a 99 gtp for 500$ with a blown headgasket. i just looked at it and i dont think he was even aware theres a set of stainless headers on it. FREEBIE
 
i still need to get the tranny off mine which i have never done b4. on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is this to do, honestly. my mechanic is obviously telling me not to do it myself but to broing it to him so he can do it for damn near a grand.
 


If you need to talk about it in depth call me anytime 313 643 7013


If you can turn a wrench you can swap a trans

happy to hear that.

this forum has by far been the most helpful out of all the other vehicle forums i've been on. much appreciated

i may call should i run into any issues, thanks
 
Im new here too lol but ive been around these cars for a while now.



If you just wanna bull**** about it that's cool too I'm off work for a month or 2 so I'll do what I can to help.

It's only difficult because you need extra hands and gear like a cherry picker for instance.

It's fairly simple though, I can't imagine anyone not being able to do it that can do there own brakes lol.

Like I said call/text I'll do what I can!

buy that car change the lower intake manifold gasket and enjoy. Guarantee that the headgaskets are fine.
