My niece has a '93 Spirit, 4 cyl, n/a, automatic. She has asked me to replace her transmission because it is 'slipping'. She picked up a j-yard tranny and I drove 200 miles round trip to trailer the car to my garage.
When I got it back here, I pulled it off the trailer and took it for a drive. The tranny does NOT slip, it just has a VERY lazy 2-3 shift. 1-2 is soft, but not overly excessive, 2-3 is VERY lazy. Once it shifts to 3, it stays and doesn't slip.
1.) This still a A413 in '93, right? But with lockup, most likely. ??
2.) If, after a good flush and filter change, the tranny is still acting up, is there an external line pressure adjustment or other adjustment that may be needed?
and finally
3.) Whether I save this tranny or swap it for her, the spare transmission that I will end up with.... will it have any use in a turbo application with a proper rebuild?
