Ok so today I was coming home from my girlfriends house, and when I got on the highway I pushed the overdrive button in. now about 4 miles into the drive my 95 eclipse gsx which is auto started bucking, then all of the sudden the rpm gauge hits 5k and I lost my overdrive. So I slow down till the rpms are around 3.5k not wanting to kill my motor because I still had around a half an hours, 45mins drive left. I decided to get off the at the next exit to avoid any more issue with keeping the motor revving that high. when I got off the exit I came to the stop sign and tried to pull out. now first gear is gone too. I managed to limp the car home using a lot of backroads and doing 5mph stops at stop signs. the one that I had to stop at took me almost 15 sec to get the car moving again. So I get home and I try to back into my spot, I put it in reverse and there nothing just my motor revving. The car has 162k on it and I'm guessing so does the tranny.
Now here's the problem. I was going to sell this car this week to a kid for $2500. I dont know what to do now. I was thinking about trying the Lucas tranny stuff to see if I can get it working again. My neighbor suggested that if that doesn't work. I should take really fine saw dust and put a small amount in the tranny to see if I can re harden the metal bands to get it working again. I really dont want to sell the car for less then 2500 and I dont want to put anymore money into it.
suggestions anyone
