      the girl needs to get over it, or pay for a new tranny.

      Is it slipping when you press the gass in OD? If you have to feather it, you may have already burnt the clutches up.

        the clutches are burned up already. i took it to a tranny shop and found out that OD is slipping. i am gonna have to take it easy and drive in drive till i get her tranny fixed. it is gonna cost me $623 for it to be rebuilt unless i can get one that has been rebuilt and sent to me cheaper. it is gonna cost me $750 if i let them have the car and take it out and fix it.

            the tranny shop wonders why certified transmissions charges double there price since they say it is an easy rebuild.

                It's an easy rebuild, to fuck up. Auto trannies require tight installation clearances. .040" is the difference between a firm performance shift, and a burnt up foward clutch in under 200 miles. See if you can find out anything on how these guys previous tranny customers have turned out. I'm not saying these guys can't do a good job, all you need is the book, and the tools to measure clearances. It's a simple step by step proccess (I've done a couple myself). But do your homework on the shop that you chose, trannies are something that some guys just can't seem to do a good job at (like the guy I bought my current tranny from, it's the 3rd tranny he sent me). BTW, if anyone is interested in all the parts for a 4R70W conversion, just let me know, since I have a complete second tranny sitting around. I'll let the parts go for a good price.

                  i hae references about the place that say they know what they are doing. i wonder how much extra those few extra pieces will cost? i asked them if they rebuilt it if they can put heavy duty stuff in there.
