95 850 Automatic transmission trouble 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Thom850 on  Thu Oct 9 15:55 CST 2008 [RELATED]

95 850GLT Non-turbo. 155k miles. Accelerating hard out of a stop while turning, tranny stopped working. If I try to put it in gear, any gear, I hear a dull clunking. If the engine is raced and I try to shift while the RPMs are fairly low but still dropping the clunk is a grind. Only symptom before failure was I notice it slipping occasionally in turns. Is the tranny shot or could it be something less?

      That's what I feared. Thanks. I'll know for sure shortly...

        Of course, It could have been severe motor mount failure, but that wouldn't explain trying to put it into gear while standing still.
        If you replace the tranny, make sure you replace the rear main seal at the same time. A 1997 tranny could also be used, you don't have to stay with 1995.
        EDIT: Never wind out the engine in 1st gear, it is not good for the engine or tranny. It is fun to spin the tires, but very hard on the tranny when it shifts to second.
