On a 1994 Olds Cutlass Cira I have i think the low gear bands are slipping and wondering if they are adjustable or if it will have to be a complete overhaul. The car is a 3.1 with the overdrive transmission and 199,000 on it and I use it every day for work on a newspaper delivery route of 150 mile. And replacement autos of that size are just not to be found with power windows and coulum mount gear shift to keep the shifter out of the ribs

The three bands in there aren`t adjustable. What makes you think a band is slipping??

On a standard transmission with a clutch when the clutch is starting to go bad you will feel and can hear a chatter as the clutch is engaged till it is full up to speed on both sides. Well on this as I start up (and not all the time) I will hear like that chatter for perhaps a halfdozen times, first 3 to 5 feet of movement and then will hear it no more till nest start. Could a valve be sticking that could cause this? And if so could a fluid change with a conditioner help this? I use the Lucas conditioner and it has kept the transmission in my Ford truck going for the last 6 years,had got so it would not move in one direction till I moved in the other, 1 can of the Lucas got it working for awile then started acting up again, put in anouther can and has worked for the rest of the about 6 years I have had the truck. If it is that clutch pack going bad will it do any more dammage if I drive it till it quits completly than if I do not, Cost any more to fix?

Were you at? I got the same car in my shed. Made up my mind to junk it today. 111,000 miles on it. Just needs a GOOD tune up. only thing is the parts will cost more than I paid for the dang car last spring.

Northwest central Ohio, Where are you at and what would you want for it?. My second Car is also an Olds Cira just 2 years newer and everything is the same except the Cutlass was droped and it has 154,000. Got a 94 Dodge Caravan that needs a head that is going to be fixed with just close to 200,000 as well.

It is the 2.5 4 cylinder and this is the second time it has happened, cant keep any antifreeze in, just keeps pushing it out, haven't yet had the money to get it torn down but it is acting just like last time and when it was torn down the head was cracked. This Olds last year I had the head gasket go out in and acted just the same way but new gaskets and a slight surfacing the head took care of that problem. Used to have a 88 Caravan and when I got rid of it the engine had no oil preasure left and ran like the lobs on the cam on 2 cylinders were partialy gone. Wanted to redo or replace engine but wife said no, still wish I had that van. I ran the vans (Also an 85 2.6) for several years on the route but traffic picked up to where I had to switch to an auto that I could reach out the right window to put the papers in the boxes. Had a rusted out 85 rustbucket Cira that I ran for a year as well.

Wanted to put in and forgot the 88 was the 3.0 engine.

"Low" is a clutch pack (forward clutch), NOT a band.
