Tranny Help....

[allthrtl]

The 83 swb I just bought has some tranny problems....It has a 700r4 behind a stock 305.... You put the selector in "D"rive and accellerate as normal...takes off fine, shifts to second (kinda hard but otherwise normal) but when it shifts to 3rd it starts slipping usually....If your going slow it will hold for a little before it starts slipping bad....You can manually put it back into 2nd and it will do ok..... I did notice that if you put it in 3rd, and it held, if you slow down to a stop and take off again, it jeks badly and make some very bad noises, clink, clank, clunk.....I noticed the level was a little low and added Trans-X, but it didn't seem to help after driving it around, slowly for about 10-15 miles.... Do any of you transmission smart fella's have any ideas.... I don't know crap about trannies so I'm sure I will end up at a shop, but if it sound catostraphic, I might start looking for a good used tranny from the wrecking yards and save paying the mechanics a bunch of money.....

Thanks in advance....

It doesn't do this.....
