Specific to your problem though... Start with a trans service doing the 3 tube seals, bridge seal, fluid, and filter/pan. If that doesn't work you will need a valve body rebuild. If that doesn't work... Well, I don't think you'd want to fix it's cost will easily outstrip the value of the vehicle.

Yeah, you are absolutely right, that is sad.....

Can you please give some more information on the parts you recommend to change?? (for tube seal and bridge seal, the other parts are known)

I was thinking about getting a used transmission after I try an oil change. But I have than maybe the same problem........

Thank you!
