this is my 96 eclipse project car and as such i have only driven it about a quarter mile up and down my road from my house to my shop depending on what i'm fixing. anyway, one day i drive it to the road and it starts slipping very badly then just loses drive. there wasn't any audible bang, crash or smoke coming from the transmission, nor do i hear any metal on metal grinding when i start it so i think i can rule out the torque converter. i have checked the fluid and it was low, i added two quarts and it's just under level. it does have reverse, which works very strongly. when it's jacked up the wheels spin and when i put it into gear it will pull slowly but when given gas it just stops. it isn't showing any check engine codes. also it doesn't have drive in any gear ie over drive, second first anything just reverse. i've read somewhere that an end clutch kit may help. does the end clutch operate all drive gears or just overdrive?
