transmission problems, please help!

[br0nx finest]

today at 1pm i was on the fdr drive, and i went to switch lanes, when i went to accelerate, the car just revved as if in neutral.

so i paid no mind to it, thinking it was between shifts, boom it does it again, and continues to do it. so now i'm stuck doing 35 on the fdr (coasting).

i pulled over, turned it off, turned it back on and its fine.

when i got downtown, i pulled off, reset the ecu (using the fuse box, which i think did nothing), but it drove fine for about 20mins.

anytime it does it, i just turned it off and back on, and it was good to go.

it has 75k miles, oil change every 3k, i never changed tranny oil, and it isn't driven that hard. no cels or flashing shift light (d4, d3, etc.).

it did this for the rest of the day till now, i had to go to bklyn and ended up stuck on the brooklyn bridge. damn i'm so embarrased and nervous about how much its gonna cost that i'm rambling on for no reason.

someone please help, i need it fixed asap, i hope it won't own my pockets.

someone said it might be the tcu/tcm. i pulled the tranny dipstick, but it looked like it had enough fluid.

i'm gonna get a tranny flush tomorrow if possible, if not i'll just drive my mom's em2 for the day.

i have a tranny problem but i get a code. everytime i turn off the car and turn it back on then it works fine. it sucks. for me it got to be electrical since i had the same problem with the first tranny. but the oil in the first tranny got dark very fast. wich means the tranny broke too. but in this one the oil is fine. well till now anyways.
check the cable linkage. are u sure that ur tranny is not donwshifting(automatic) because if u push the gas pedale to the end the tranny(automatic)willl donwshift and then upshift again.

where is the linkage, and how can i fix it?

nah it's not downshifting, its acting as if in neutral. not moving anywhere. and coasts till a complete stop.

Tranny fluid should be changed around every 15,000 miles or so.

someone had said that whenever you change the fluid, it starts slipping. i was like wtf? but i heard others agreeing, that's why i haven't worried about a tranny flush. but this will be addressed tomorrow.

i take it, that noone on this site has heard of this problem? or just feels like leaving me to pull out my hair.

thanks.

things i've checked:

tranny fluid, reddish, no particles inside.

things i've heard i should check:

solenoids? what is that?
tcu? about to get one and swap and see what happens.
vaccum lines in the tranny? never heard that one.

but when i first started the car i heard a whizzing sound, something i've nevAr heard before.

someone please help me.

yes it was flushed, thing was it was filled with pennzoil dextronIII, but i'm thinking about getting 5-6 quarts of honda ATF and having it reflushed on tuesday.

[br0nx finest]

as of that monday, i replaced the lines from tranny to radiator. and flushed previous oil, with honda atf.

yes.

thats sux, but yours is pretty lucky compared to mine and some other cb's ive seen, mine did that a lot then it just blew. you might wanna look into a rebuild kit, only thing is labors gonna be a bitch. theres lots of forums that you could find another auto tranny on, just be careful bout who you buy from.

nah i already had the transmission replaced, thanks tho dude.

550 installed with 55k (got it from a salvage yard.) had it for about a week, runs great.
