Hello - I have a 95 SC2 with 133,000 miles, 4 spd auto tranny.
About a month ago, I started having transmission problems. The reverse gear works OK the car is cold, but when warmed up it will only go backwards when it is revved very high in reverse (about 6000 rpm) and then it only backs very slowly.
Also, the Service Engine Soon light comes on when it first shifts from 1st to 2nd and stays on, and often from 1st to 2nd it is a hard shift. Other than that, no problems with all 4 forward gears..
I read online that this was likely the Transmission Valve Body, so I bought a used one on-line and installed it but I still have the same problem.
What else could be causing these problems, or did I just get another bad Valve Body?
Thanks! Harry, Appleton WI
