my car drives fine but when i got WOT it seems like it slips alot of the time....is their anything i can do to fix this or is it just getting close to where it needs to be rebuild, the tranny is funky as it is, first shift thru the gears every morning cold or warm, it shifts funny until it shifts thru all gears then its perfect after....except for it slipping sometimes when i go wot......any ideas?
 
if you really wanted you can change the filter in the pan and put new fluid in but if you pull your dipstick out and the fluid is dark red and smells burnt then it is time for a rebuild
 
dark red? its already red ud think itd get dark either way?
 
I think you should change the filter and fluid asap. When you refill it make sure you fill it perfectly, I'm thinking you are overfilled. I know at least on 2gs the dipstick sucks but you definately don't want it overfilled. If that doesn't work I'd start with the cheap stuff, end clutches and solenoids. If none of these solve the problem you are looking at rebuilding.
 
alright i will deff do that how do you know wherre its perfect at? its hard to read the stick really or atleast for me it is...

and where can i find a endclutch? everytime i look i just find clutch kits but im not sure i think thats for a 5speed?
