200k? Is the fluid level correct? Has the trans ever been done before? Sounds like a little bigger problem than just the mod. Might be time for a rebuild

Thank you for your help the trans fluid level was fine, so I took it to the shop to get a used one in its is alot cheaper. With putting an old one in should the fluid and filter be changed plus new o-rings put in. Thanks you again for your help. :D :D :D :D :lol:
