I have a 64 Malibu with a TH350. Bought the car 6 months ago and it was supposed to have a fresh built transmission in it. Here are the problems I am having.
- When cold there is a slight hesitation when shifting into reverse but once in reverse it works fine.
- It shift fine through 1st-3rd once out on the road. Nice firm shifts due to the shift kit.
- Once the car is warm, when I come to a stop and start up again there is a slight bump like its slipping into first.
- Once warm it will slip sometimes going into third.
- Once warm it will barely shift into reverse and it hardly moves (slips) the RPM's are really high in order to make the car move.
- I have checked the fluid level and that checks out fine.
- The shifting linkage seems to be adjusted okay
I have no clue what the problem is?? Could it be a torque converter??
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Steve
