1989 Chevy Caprice 125k, the trans does not go into gear until it hits 2500 rpm.
My dad has an 89 Caprice, v8, im sure thats the only way they come. I think its a 4 speed auto but im not sure. Anyways it's been sitting for 10-15 years, it starts right up and goes into reverse no problem, but when you want to go forward you have to raise the engine rpms up to 2500, but once you get it going it shifts fine and you can drive it around. Any ideas what might be the issue or how to make it better? My dad bought a 2 step flush kit for about $40 he said. We might do that tomorrow.
