Tanny Question

[pro70z28]

Nothin' exciting just another "Daughter's Lumina" question. She started to drive her '92 - 3.1 Lumina to work today, but came back home when the trans. wouldn't shift.

Jenni told me the car would bog down between shifts. She failed to mention this has been going on for awhile now.
I thought it might be the modulator. I was told by the parts guy that it was the elect. shift solenoid not the modulator. Then when I took it out for a test I found it no longer bogged between shifts but would go into neutral when it should be shifting into drive. Not just slipping .... but in neutral until it slowed enough to shift into 2 or until I manually put it in 2. (Doesn't slip @ all in 1 and 2, shifts normal from 1 to 2). My thought was the seal must have let go for the ''drive'' clutch pack.? Not familiar with FWD trans. If that's the case, the car isn't worth the fix. Just thought I would ask on the off chance it may be the solenoid or modulator (In Pic.). I don't think I would even replace the elect. solenoid at this point cuz it's a @#$%^ to get to, and I've spent too much time on this thing already. As I said earlier I think it's a clutch seal. (I've overhauled 350 & 400th, but never had a fwd trans. apart). I'm thinkin' the bogging Jenni didn't think was a big deal, may have been caused initially by the elect. Shift Solenoid. I think, left unchecked, the boging between shifts smoked the cluches and / or blew the clutch seal. What do you tranny Guys think? Iz' it toast??
