Re: I've lost 1st gear on my 93 SSEI. What are my options?

Will do. I took it to work today and it was fine. Checked the dipstick when I got there and there was no foam/bubbles on the end of it. Fluid was fine. I still hear a faint whirring noise that could be related to the trans.

Re: I've lost 1st gear on my 93 SSEI. What are my options?

I have an update:

I took the car out later this evening after the car had cooled off and the trans shifted ok. I just took it up the road (hill) and back. I originally noticed the problem this afternoon when I would pull up to a stop sign and the car would struggle to get going until I revved it to ...

Re: I've lost 1st gear on my 93 SSEI. What are my options?

It seemed to be the right color. Had a few bubbles on the end of the dipstick when I pulled it out. I check the fluid weekly.

Thanks
So it's either finding a trans from a 93 with Supercharger and traction control or taking it to the shop....

I've lost 1st gear on my 93 SSEI. What are my options?

Hi members,

We'll I lost first gear today on the SSEI. Car only has 130K miles. It came as a surprise. There were no warning signs. I looked up the trans on car-part.com. I live in Maine so the closest one is in Mass, about a 4-5 hours drive. I could do it. The car has traction control and of ...

Thanks.
I'll look into that. Do you know of something I can use to clean the fuel system, being it has a supercharger.

Re: my 93 ssei

I thought the crosslaces were standard on the SSEI mine has them. Wonder if yours were an option wheel?

Re: 95 Pontiac Bonneville SSE almost 300k, mostly stock

Great story. I hope mine lasts that long. Interesting yours has the traction control. I believe it was only offered on the SSEI in 92/93 and maybe 94? Guess they started offering it for the SSE in 95.

My Green 93 SSEi, pics of head problem, build sheet & more

Alright, so here are some pictures of my 1993 SSEi. I got it of Craigslist in December of 08. It needed some TLC. Did have a new windshield put in just before I got it. After driving it home from NH, it actually sat in garage for 2 months. We gutted the interior and cleaned everything before putting ...

Re: My 93 SSEI and I say hello from Maine

The cracks were between the combustion chambers. I was really lucky. In addition to the cracks, a piece broke off of the exhaust valve but did not cause any internal damage. I'm writing out a post in the show your car area and I will post a few pics of the head job, including one showing the damaged ...

My 93 SSEI and I say hello from Maine

Hello,

I found this forum recently and have been reading up on the various threads. I thought I'd join and participate too. My first car was a Blue 92 SE, which I bought my senior year in HS off the local Ford dealer's wholesale lot for a mere $250 because it needed various work. My father and I ...
