Original core was out of an 89 Camaro. But that's all it was, a core. This transmission has been built and rebuilt too many times. The original build and installation was done by a shop and had to be rebuilt several times under warranty. It kept losing 2 and 4. It was good for a few years, then redone several times after that. This is the first time, though, that it has been behaving as described. Last rebuild was 500 miles before it sat for 5 years. I've been driving it now almost 2 years since that; daily 11.2 mile one-way commutes on city streets, rarely over 45mph. 4 could have been gone for the past 9 months and I wouldn't know. Only when I started getting second gear starts at lights did I start paying attention.
