Spyder 96 Eclipse Spyder GS

My 96 Eclipse Spyder GS slips out of 1st gear. That i know for sure i dont think it does it in any other gears.

When i have to stop or slow down to almost stop sometimes it will seem like its in neutral. And when i speed up it goes into that neutral thing again. I think its a solenoid but idk wanted to see what other people thought before i go buy the solenoid. It is an auto tranny.

Could be a solenoid, or even a worn set of clutch discs.

When was the last time the tranny fluid and filter were changed? Could be lack of flow not letting it change gear.

Sorry im just replying been busy. So when i bought thr car it had no transmission fluid so i had to put some in. I havnt done the filter yet. Il have to do that tomorrow

My friends spyder does similar, more so with reverse, but anytime switching gears and even sometimes at a stop it revs up then clunks horribly into gear. Also clunks bad when putting in gear from park. New motor mounts, changed fluid twice and a new range sensor.

did not help, autos suck.

manual swap and whole engine build now in progress.
