Everything went together perfectly fine, no problems, the tranny fluid is at the right level, i've tried adjusting the kick down cable, i've done everything, but the tranny slips horribly when you try to get the car moving. you have to rev the snot out of it before it starts to go anywhere, but once it is moving, it drives alright, and shifts fine. I've changed the filter and gasket, and cleaned out the pan. There wasn't much for shavings stuck to the magnet. I got the tranny out of a junkyard. You think it's just a badly worn tranny, or can you think of simething else that might be causing the problem?

what happened to yours is, cause its from a junkyard,it automatically a used tranny,and you have no idea as to what kinda shape the trans is in.by what you describe it sounds like the bands themselves are worn.the bands work the same way as the brakes pads do.and a auto trans shift gears by either aloowing planetary gears to turn,or hold them in place.if the bands cant hold something still when its supposed to it will essentially be in 3rd or 4th gear.in order to move you have to make more power,an you did that by revving the engine.take it to a shop an have the bands looked at.more than likely there shot an youll have to replace them.

i agree sounds like the "new" tranny is shot too...
look at your nice pink tranny fluid and see if it looks blackish now... stick the dipstick by your nose and see if it smells burnt a bit... if it does... the trannys clutch packs inside are shot... there only about $20 for new ones and this is what generally goes wrong in auto trannys... but remembering how everything goes back together is very important and cleanliness while putting it all back together is a MUST... when doing a tranny job, hang the tranny on a hook so that the tailshaft end is on the ground and then you just let gravity slip all the peices back together... you need to have some mechanical abilities to do it... but its not as hard as they say and thats all a rebuilt tranny is,,, new clutch packs, they dont rebuild every peice in the tranny on a "rebuild" ...and 99 times out of 100 the car never comes back for any warranty service in the next year

Check the transmission cooler and make sure it isn't partically plugged with the crap that came out of the old transmission. Also hope you used the new converter with the replacement transmission. Never want to use a converter off a "bad" transmission with another as it is full of crap from the bad transmission and can ruin the replacement one. If your old transmission was bad, which it obviously was to replace it, then the coolers often get stopped up and oil can't flow. The oil is sent throught the cooler and back to the transmission and if this get's plugged the hydraulic pressure drops too low to engage the gears. Can take the lines loose and flush it out with some strong solvent and then blow it clean with air. If it doesn't appear to blow clean then will have to change it if separate, or the entire radiator if it is built in as most are. Also make sure that the rubber lines running to the transmission from the cooler to the trans are really good. Often they go bad on the "inside" and partially block. Or when you are slipping them back over the fittings on the install the inside layer of rubber will curl under and block the line. Seen a lot of 50 cent rubber lines stop a transmission in it's tracks.

Auto trannys don't last all that long, and unless the car you got it from had tranny service recently or it had super low mileage, it's probably bad. Did you use the correct tranny fluid, and is the filter on properly, if it is not in place it can cause slipping due to lack of fluid being drawn up into the tranny.

Sounds like a bad torque converter. When you say new tranny you cannot then say you got it out of a junk yard. Suppose you replaced your bad tranny with another bad tranny. You are out of all the labor to replace it. Stop fooling around with junk and get it rebuilt or repalce it with one that has been tested and certified as good.

You in no way serviced the trans earlier, did you??? comprehend which you will in simple terms use fluid in right here that satisfies the standards indexed in you proprietor's instruction manual. there is not any such component as a primary trans fluid. the suitable on will state on the label, "deisgned to be utilized in " or "approved to be utilized in Mazda products.' each trans fluid has differnt coefficient's of friction and visosities at diverse temperatures. because of the fact of this a lot of peolpe have worry with their autos after a fluid replace. they have positioned the incorrect STUFF IN!!! Get sensible!!! Get a can of chlorinated brake sparkling (i lke CRC). drop the trans pan. Have the valve physique sprayed sparkling with the CRC. that is going to dislodge the furry steel snatch shavings that are starting to be caught interior your valve physique. Wash each thing seen on the backside of the trans down. replace pan. use the suitable trans fluid, and fill up. keep in mind that the torque converter holds a minimum of two quarts of previous used fluid. you will possibly be able to could drain the fluid 2-thrice to strengthen concentration of sturdy to undesirable fluid. sturdy success!!! I incredibly have saved MANY transmissions that others could not restoration.
