does it grind or slip? the reaction shell could be stripped where it splines to the sun gear. if it is slipping i bet your low and reverse clutches are smoked. what does the fluid smell like

smells litter burnt like light brown color gotta member i never changed it had the car only for five months and actually had the prob when i bought it off my bro....but it was a steal so i said hell with it ....no slipping even if you beat it but once an a while if you stop at a light like yesterday feels like it locks up ...i dont know but i wanna fix it or get a good idea of what the problem might be

sounds like the rear sun gear needle bearing took a crap. all the scrapnel from the bearing goes into the rear planet and starts chewing that up and the more you drive it like that the more it eats. we see it all the time at our shop . you can useually have one of those rebuilt without problems and that year should be fairly cheap (under 1500)

The stick may be more fun to drive, but from my experience they are more brittle than the 4L60E. I run mid 10's, so I wouldn't necessarily call a 4L60e crappy if built properly.
