Overrunning or 1 way roller clutch is shot.....

possibly a sprag ....

Generally what they call a hard part , and big $$$$$ unless you know the builder and he slips in a used but good 1 but most shops dont carry junkyard cases and parts like i always did so your probably gonna pay the big $$$$$$ for sure......

Did ya do a lot of manual shifting rather then let the auto work automatically???

Dont know what to say except !!!!!

Good Luck...........:laughing:

Had that problem awhile back. Keept checking with repairmen as to why ?
Had a FOMOCO dealer that said they use to rebuild 'em all then found out that if you did a tranny flush and filter, problem went away with 95% of them !

Thats what I did and it fixed it.

Your not talking about a buzzing sound coming from the valve body are ya?????

Wasn't that the Maytag washing machine that had the slippage and ratcheting sound??????:laughing:

Call the Maytag man....

In my humble oppine if the other gears work fine and its limited to overdrive and 3rd a fluid change is only going to prolong the misery but that's just my opinion and i havent a clue if he`s describing the problem correctly / accuratly.....

:laughing:T-puppy-T:laughing:

He`s always asleep anyway waiting for the phone to ring...... The Maytag man that is !!!!!!

had my 250 do the same. overdrive went out around 130k ran me around $1600 to rebuild it. gonna drive it til it does it in another 130k sure is better than paying 50k plus for a new one. zero payment beats $700
