Soooooo I picked up my 1st dsm 2x days ago. 1992 gsx , auto , 122k miles. I knew it needed a turbo , brakes and tires.. buuuuut as I'm cleaning it up I have it at idle in my garage and I knowtice the trans temp is lit on the overhead indicator but I didn't think much of it but shut it off anyways. then I go to put it in reverse to pull it out and put my other baby back in the garage and BAM , no reverse....
So I checked the fluid as the car was upto temp and it seemed abit overfilled but I don't smell any burnt clutchpack or see any particulates present in the fluid on the dipstick. The fluid looks cherry pink.. I drove tge car around the parking lot ( was empty ) and got it into 3rd gear and ran in and out of them all and there was no issues other than a kinda hard shift into which ever gear you selected after starting the car from a cold start.
So , anything I need to check , look for or how to better diagnose this issue. I'm afraid that the trans is done , it while in drive didn't roll forward unless you pressed on the gas abit but would immediately begin to move and when put in reverse in would instantly start moving back with no gas input as it should..
