1995 Pontiac Bonneville 4 sp overdrive electric shift transmission blew

Hi Folks,
I have a 1995 Pontiac that has been a fairly reliable car till now.

The transmission has whined like improper gear meshing since we got the car three years ago.

While accelerating heavily to avoid being squashed by two trucks, the car suddenly lost power. The motor runs super, just no power transfer.

Would it be possible to replace simply replace whatever failed inside the transmission ?

It's strange, but after returning to tow the vehicle, it would now go into drive but not reverse. And it is making a bad rattling sound from the tranny.

Thanks for any help!!

Mark from Virginia

If the overdrive on my 05 Pontiac aztec is out... does that mean the transmission is going out and it all needs to be replaced or is it something simpler?? Harder?? Is it worth fixing???

the over drive is controlled by a servo/solenoid that sometimes fails
It could be a TCM problem
It is not an indication of a failing transmission unless you have more indications you have not mentioned and if diagnosed by an accredited transmission shop should be fairly cheap to fix.
It is worth fixing

1994 pontiac bonneville Transmission Modulator does not shift into overdrive

The modulator doesn't control the overdrive shift point. The clutches in the torque converter may be worn out or there may be an electrical problem inside the transmission.

My 1995 pontiac bonneville slips out of overdrive all the time, what causes this?

all "gears" in your transmission depend upon hydraulic pressure to keep them engaged. if od clutch is worn or burned, or pressure is escaping at an internal seal it can cause the problem you have. Always be sure that fluid is full and is not burned. If it seems OK, have the unit checked by a reliable shop...there is nothing "user friendly" except perhaps a fluid and filter change that can be done on your transmission.
