I have a 83 Regal T-Type that the previous owner installed a TH-350 with a Street / Strip shift kit and some valve work done to it. It shifted really hard, but there was a problem with the kickdown cable, as it didn't always like to downshift on the freeway.
Anyway, I was returning from Chicago to Detroit, when the car began to make this horrid rattling noise. It did this for a bit, then stopped. This said to me, Bad Tranny, as I had blown the TH-200-4R on my old Monte.
So, I had the thing towed to the shop, and after a few days, the mechanic told me that it wasn't a tranny, it was the flex plate which apparently connects the fly wheel and the torque convertor (I know jack **** about transmissions).
Anyways, when I got the car back home, the extra 100 miles, I noticed ticks with it. First of all the neutral safety switch is messed up, it will only start in park no in neutral. Secondly, and majorly, the tranny doesn't like to shift into gear. I'll put it into D and it will act like it is in Neutral, until I gun the thing up to like 4000 RPM, at which it will catch and run like normal. It had only done this to me three times in a week, so I wasn't worried about it. That is until it did it to me at a stop light at a busy intersection.
What can I do, what is wrong with it?
