92 Grand Marquis Trans by coda1212

Hi there: I have a 92 Grand Marquis with 67,000 miles. While outside temp is cool such as 40'-low 50's, my trans shifts fine. But once warmed up, typically 5 or 6 city miles, the trans is slipping from start to 1st gear. I had the trans fluid flushed, but still have the problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

I wonder if a band adjustment would help.

band adjustment is not an option. it sounds like the forward clutch is slipping in your transmission.when fluid is cold its thicker and will help hold the forward clutch after it warms up and thins down its unable to take up the extra clearance in the forward drum so the trans slips. time for an overhaul

How could I have been so remiss? I did not research adequately the problems with transmissions in these minivans. We did buy a pretty high mileage one, so of course there wasn't even an option for a warranty. We're now waiting to have a Jasper reman transmission put in at a hopefully "reputable" independent transmission shop to the tune of about $3000.00. Probabaly should have paid upfront for an Odyssey.

jasper builds a good unit all dyno tested and checked for operation before shipping. only problems that could arise is from installation of the unit. as far as jasper is concerned ROCK SOLID company
