I have a 1992 saturn sc that pops out of gear when it gets warmed up. I replaced the trans axle, road tested it, and it did the same thing. What should I check next

I would check the shifter cable's and see if you can see bare shifter cable under the hood where the crimp has loosened up and let the bare cable show. Let me know what you find.

No the cable is good. I'm thinking it could be the torque converter, but I'm tired of pulling this transaxle in and out. What should I look for?

So what exactly does it do when warmed up?Does it just stay in one gear?Or slip into neutral?The more details the better also you should have some codes in the computer. What year model etc did the used transmission come from?

Also does the transmission you put in do the same thing your old one did?
