April 6, 200421 yr It is a 4wd 3AT 92 loyale ok, I cleaned and honed the govenor stuff, so it is not that, it slides "like butter" as the usrm says this is what happens: it shudders going into second if you put more than normal stress on the transmission when in first, like going up a hill, it starts to slip going into third is perfect, no problem there. do you guys know what is going on now? -AK.
April 7, 200421 yr the more i read, the happier i am that my 92 loyale has the 5 speed manual with pushbutton 4wd. good luck with yours though
April 7, 200421 yr i have no problems with mine , turbo full time 4wd a/t 85,000 mi gl-10 , also 2wd spfi a/t sedan 76,000mi
April 7, 200421 yr this 92 loyale had its tranny fail around 150K miles. Not sure why, the last owner may have never checked the tranny fluid, and it could have lost it all.
April 7, 200421 yr Author it has 230,000 miles. could I get some serious answers?, not to be rude or anything but I want to fix this.
April 7, 200421 yr It sounds like you have a real tranny problem (not the easy fix type like the governor), you could try a filter/fluid change and maybe add one of the “trans fix” snake oils. I asked around and was told the Lucas stuff was the best, I had good luck with it in a K-car 904 auto (worst AT ever made), though I think the filter change did the most good. Rebuilding your tranny will be expensive, it may be time to find a good used one. Gary
April 8, 200421 yr HOOPED! sounds like the clutch packs are shot,probably from poor oil change intervals!! too bad...
April 8, 200421 yr Author what are the clutch packs? (they ingage the different planetary things right?) are they some kind of big plastic washer? because I found half of a plastic washer (about 3'' in diameter) in the fluid pan and i have been trying to find out what it is. other than that it sounds like a new tranny is in order -AK
April 8, 200421 yr I have a 94 Loyale 4x4 with the 3at also. Fortuantly it has absolutly no problems shifting. Very strong shift points. The original owner took great care of this car, and only has 92k miles on her now. Sounds like your going to be needing a rebuild soon, bands are probably all stretched.
