RE: 95 trans has no second gear
Hmm.. if it's only $400 and the only thing wrong is the trans, sounds like one hell of a deal. Only having First gear rather than other gears that slip doesn't sound right. Check it over carefully, could be just the MLPS. Pull the ATF dip stick. It could be just out of ATF. I have a perfect 85K stock, 2nd gear chirpin' '94 trans with TC and installed shift kit for only $300 if it's shot (near Wash. DC). I love buying "broken" cars that need something easy fixed.
