trans started slipping yesterday. i took one of the cooler lines off and the there is no metal pieces in the fluid but the fluid is not a nice red color. it does not smell burnt yet but it is not red. my question is what else becides a tc can cause the trans to start slipping and question 2 can i just replace the tc and call it a day. im on a low budget and can not afford to buy a new trans.

Have the trans rebuilt. If you have never rebuilt one before i would put money on it . You will screw it up. Besides. having a repuptible shop do it gives you a warranty:thumbsup:

If everyone used this philosophy no one would have any experience!?!?!

I say give it a try. Buy a book, take your time, invest in some good tools.
