Then you have some serious internal issues with the trans. You need to get it to a trans specialist for analysis.

Re: 81 firebird trany problem Sign In
Not a trans specialist but have some clue. The front pump needs enough pressure to allow engagement of bands and clutches. They can go weak and as Hammer said a trans place should be able to test the pressure. Near certain the advice will be to overhaul it and if a nice old car it's nice to start off with a major item out of the way.

Dang - have owned a zillion vehicles and would rather when old ones that I want got this right away , enjoy knowing it's done while I have it and not just to sell it!
