Slipping Auto Trans on hills 1991 740 wagon. 700

First see if the shift lever can be manipulated slightly to stop it from slipping. If so it has to be readjusted. Other than that, it could be a low pressure issue. Which would basically be a good reason to get another trans.

As far as rebuilding goes, I wouldn't bother unless you are totally unable to get a used AW70L, which is what is in that car if it is a non-turbo B230F powered model. Turbo is an AW71. Used ones are cheap (starting around $200) and even the high end of the spectrum sees you getting one for five or six hundred if it is super low miles and a later model. A rebuild is almost a thousand dollars, and a factory reman is more than two thousand. In my opinion, you can usually get two used ones (and installed) for the price of one rebuild.
