kind of sounds to me like you have the clutches breaking up, chances are you will need to rebuild the transmisison, however you should send a PM to user Master Tech he is the local transmisison expert

 

Welcome to DF
Kim i have sent you a pm. First thing i would need to know if there was debris in the pan.Meaning pieces of metal?

 

first what was the problem
ididn't got the transmission into park
take off the pan the oil was clear
but i found two big metal parts
then take off the valve body
and the frond brake band was not on his place
it was moved behind
wenn i put it back on its place
i have placed back the 2 metal pieces i found in the pan
the band was very loosen on the drum
then put back the valve body and pan
the car was shiffting into park and shiffted up to the second gear
and above 1300 rpm the car started "breaking"
the transmission was not shiffting into 3 gear any more
then i have the adjusting for the brake band
it is now a little bether
but not good it is still breaking

My guess kim is the transmission will need to come out and be repaired. And find out where the metal pieces came from. Sorry

these are the two parts I've found in the oilpan.
The biggest one was the bandstrut and the other part was the bandanchor. These two parts belongs to the front band.
I install them and I remark that there was a big gap between the band an d the drum. I install the valve body and the oilpan. Fill it up with ATF. I run the motor and shift into D, in the first gear everything runs good,while shifting up to the secondgear at a 1300 RPM the car start braking at a speed of 1500 RPM. It don't shift up to the 3rd gear at all. Before I install those two parts I had the problem that the transmission was running smoothly the only thing was that it was slipping from the 2nd gear into the 3rd gear. Also when I drained the gearbox, the ATF was clear and there was no pieces of metal or plastic.
My question is: how does it come that those two parts was in the oilpan.
And what to do now, is there a special adjustment required or is a solenoid not working.
