I however did fix it for a while by "tricking" the tranny. I disconnected the battery for a little while and connected it back and it worked for a few weeks and then all hell broke loose and I parked it.
Was it in "limp mode" where it go's into 3rd and stays there?

Not sure exactly it sat for about 6 months and now makes a really high pitch whinning noise(when it wants to), it slips when it wants to and drives when it wants to. And what you did by tricking the tranny was the speed sensor went to shit those are 20 dollar parts and are external on the transmission like a 30 minute job. FYI
and
www.car-part.com has a few of them but they are all an hour away from me and half are untested with 160k miles on them.
I found one about 30 minutes from here with 158k the pan was taken off an inspected and they say all is within spec for 350. Worst part is having the girl breathe down my neck about it "WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE" "IT WONT TAKE YOU MORE THAN AN HOUR RIGHT" "CAN'T I SELL IT THE WAY IT IS FOR THE SAME PRICE" I love her to death but quit bustin my balls
