I Have an 84 Buick LeSabre. 307, 200 overdrive. It will not hit second gear at all. If you manualy select 2nd, It hits low. It shifts from low to 3rd. and it winds up prety hard before then.THe car has 127,000 on it, and it was used for towting. The fluid was not burned. When I changed the Filter, it looked as it had not been disturbed for a long time. the level of stuff in the pan was minimal, normal from what I have seen.The filter was not plugged. Tryed adjusting the cable, Made no difference. Could this be a problem in the valve body, or is time for new trany ??
