Rough shifting/grinding in '84 AUTO wagon


Recommended Posts

I'm having some issues with my '84 wagon with an automatic transmission. The shifter seems to almost stick when shifting all through the gears, like going from P to 2 and back from 2 to P.

 

I recently did a full drain and flush and added a can of SeaFoam Trans-Tune to see if it'd help, but didn't seem to do the trick.

 

It seems like it's less of an actual mechanical problem IN the tranny and more of a linkage problem with the shifter assembly.

 

Is there any direction you guys can point me in to help SMOOTH out my shifting????

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

Could be just worn out bushings or cable in the linkage. Have you tried (safely) dissconnecting the linakge and shifting it at the tranny itself. I dont remeber how this linkage is set up, if it is a rod or cable, but thats my guess.
