So the transmission is having an issue shifting into 3rd or 4th gear. It all started with me posting the car on craigslist. But as a last time thing I wanted to launc h the car for old time sake. It wasn't a very hard launch I grannied into it but the tach bounced before shifting into 2nd, once it hit 2nd it felt like the car went into neutral. So I freaked out and looked under the car and nothing was leaking. So I drove it home. The car will drive in 1rst fine but won't shift into 2nd until it reaches 2500rpm and you let off the throttle completley then it'll shift. But once its in 2nd it won't go into 3rd or 4th at all. If I manually shift it the car stays in first the whole time. I don't dare push the throttle anymore than a quarter of the way down. The fluid 2 weeks before was a red with a hint of brown so I know the fluid needed changing. I haven't had a chance to do so with 2 jobs. I looked at the fluid today at work and its very brown. So I ran a seafoam trans treatment to help out what little it can. Saturday is the only free time I have to change the fluid and filter. When it does shift into 2nd it still shifts smoothly. But I just want to sell this thing and it won't let me it keeps taking all my spare funds and its getting aggrevating. I'm just wondering if the infamous clutch pack burnt out or not. I was asking 3500 obo before and now I don't even know what to ask for it. Its still driveable just half the trans doesn't work right now
