Transmission slips, wont go over a couple mph, then drives fine for awhile

Car ran fine yesterday. Started today, drove down the driveway and it barely went 2 mph. half way down the block it started to go normally for about a 1/4 block then went bad again. So I turned around to go back home and it ran fine till I got to my driveway. It barely made it up the drive. thanks for help you can offer

SOURCE: Just purchased a 94 Sunbird SE for my son (today)

Take it back to where you got it and make them refund your purchase price. If they refuse and you finianced it go to them, There a law called "The Lemon Law" that makes it unlawful to sell something like that. Sounds like you sure bought one. Don't do anything to it just get hold of the place where you bought it and tell them to come get their junk out of your yard! dhgill1949

sounds to me like you have a short in the ignition itself , it seems intermittent which would make me believe its the ignition

Shakes when driving

One of the tires may have a slipped belt or be extremely out of balance. I would reccomend not driving it until you have it inspected.

1990 toyota camry wont go into gear or slips out

Could be a long list of things.
Its too late for a filter change. Doing that now would probably make matters worse.
The trans uses electric solenoids and a pump to apply pressure to the clutches. So either could be faulty given the age and mileage.
I'm not sure if the shifting problem is connected to the shift indicator lights problem.
You may need to take it to a trans shop to find out for sure. And they will not want to touch it with that many miles on it.
A regular mechanic might be able to do a pressure test on it to at least find out if it is the pump or not.

Transmission won't shift fron 1st, 2nd or 3rd correctly!

Sorry to inform you that it sounds like your transmission needs servicing.
Check the fluid levels and replenish if level is down.
If after doing this,the car still wont shift properly or smoothly,,then you will have to take the car into a transmission mechanic.

1994 F350 transmission intermittent problem

I had the same problem in my 96 f-350. The transmission has slipped recording a slip code in the transmission. You can pull the codes and get it. I shifts into a safe mode that increases the pressure inside your transmission as part od a fail safe. Plain and simple, you have to have the tranny rebuilt.
