Question about 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

While driving the car it started acting funny so I put transmission fluid in it. Then drove about 5-10 miles and it started again, I put more transmission fluid in and then drove again. Then it wouldnt drive. I let it sit for 20 mins and it drove two miles. Then nothing. So I let it sit again for 15 mins and it drove again but eventally wouldnt go anymore.? Does this sound like a clogged filter to my transmission if not what could it be?

Depending on the miles the transmission fluid most likely needs flushed and changed.

02 bonneville transmission slips to false nuetral after warmed up. Shut car off for a minute will drive again for a short time. ?????

Your transmission is probably going into "limp" mode. This happens when the car's computer senses something wrong that is potentially very bad. It is your cars way of telling you to take it to the dealer so they can read the error codes in your computer.

I have a 2002 Dodge stratus 4 cylinder quits pulling after a few miles

the transmission filter is possible plugging up. When the car is off the fluid flows backwards through the filter into the transmission pan. Once the car is started, the fluid goes through the filter, if there is a lot of debris in the pan it will suck it up into the filter. then once the filter plugs up the fluid cant get to the clutches inside the transmission. thus it feels like neutral. similar to as if there was no fluid in the transmission. Replace the transmission filter.

Hey Anon, Yes, drive it to the tranny shop..plan to leave it... sounds like you are in for a rebuild.. this is typical for GM RWD transmissions.. I have seen TOO many do this same thing,, (I have had TWO in for this... vehicles I inherited that were not maintained)..GM transmissions on RWD's must have the fluid and filter changed every 50K - 75K and a complete fluid exchange and filter replacement every 120K -150K MINIMUM for them to last..usually cost around $1200 - $1400.. sorry.. Good luck!

it sounds as if the transmission might be slipping. Check the fluid level and condition. If the color is not a strong red color and more of a brown or black color, then you will need to replace the transmission. A fluid change at this point will not help you. good luck!

Double check your trany fluid with the engine HOT and idling in park, top off if needed, otherwise if you disconnected the battery the transmission will have to teach itself to shift all over again which should only take a mile or two to accomplish on it's own, if not the tranny is history.
