Mayeb your thinking of the traction control apparatus?

If it has TCS that its still only one cable to the TB....

Ok. You need to look at the lip right above the pan on the passenger side. There is a number stamped into the case...that number will tell you the year of the tranny. Also, on the driver side, look to see if you have a big round plug or a smaller squarish one.

i dont have traction control. on the performance button lol. there are two wires from my TB, throttle and kickdown. throttl on top and the kickdown on bottom. there is no tension in the kickdown.

You sure its a 95?....

have you checked to see if someone swaped in an older trans? if not you dont have tv/kickdown as mentioned several times.........

and you say you dont have t/c either, that other cable is probably cruise control

I have cruise control, 95 LT1, and still, only one cable....

hmm

There is definitely no kickdown cable... If it's a 700r4 ( aka older than 1995....'93-down) it has a TV ( throttle-valve) cable. If it's a 4l60e ( aka electronically controlled 700r4) then it does not have a TV cable. Now if someone swapped in a t-350 ( 3 speed/ no OD) then it could have a kickdown. Have you followed the cable in question down to the transmission? It sounds to me like it's cruise control ( which would feel like it didn't have any tension on it).

the silver colored tranny is a 700r4...notice the big looped cable ( that is the TV cable)

the black one is a 4l60e...notice no provision for the cable ....

ok heres the thing lol. thicker top wire has a broken little plastic piece. i guess my trans is a 4l60 not the E.

so confused....lol

itsa 4l60EEEEE lol im a dumb s.hit ok.. i called aamco and they will do a free tow and free computer check thing lol. they said it could be a solenoid or sensor. i dont know much about trannys. but i know alot about not having money lmaooo

do you have traction control ?

just dont be heartbroken when you need a rebuild like most of everyone here said you will need

Yes.

no traction control lol

Yup.

I'd rather get a trans from someone who knows the 4L60E trans.

There is no doubt in my mind that it needs to be rebuilt. Even if it the problem originated with a bad solenoid, driving it even a little bit with the wrong pressure will fry the clutch packs. Replacing a solenoid may work for a little while, but it won't be the end of your problem/s.

i havent been driving it

Less then a mile would kill the trans (when you did drive it)

So what are you planning on doing when Aamco calls you back to tell you the trans is wasted? They told you what you wanted to hear just to get the car in the door knowing damn well that there is a 99% chance the trans needs to come out.. We were just trying to tell you what your problem is based on our experience, I am sorry if we did not give you false hope by saying things like "just change the fluid and see what happens" or "maybe its just a $25 solenoid".. We very careful when dealing with big franchise and chains, they are there to make money, not to build quality transmissions.

It needs to be rebuilt. Aamco knows this. They are very good at doing what they have to to get your car in their shop. Free towing and diagnostics means they already have your vehicle and chances are you'll just leave it there to be fixed. You will pay way to much for an inferior transmission. You'd be much better off financially, letting one of us rebuild it for you. It will be done right the first time and have much better parts put into it.

im not trying to say that everyone here wont do a good job. but im not sure what to do now because i just got done paying for college and all my books and just bought a pointless starter for $120 and now im screwed with money because i cant afford to get it rebuilt.now i have to pay for my phone bill and insurance is due today and i have no job . what a sob story lmao. but not ssure what to do right now with my car.

IMO, I wouldn't let AAMCO touch it unless they offer to tow it back to your house after they tell you that you need the trans rebuilt and you tell them you can't pay for it....
