Weird trans issue....93' Cavalier

auto trans


Just got it today, I test drove it for like 20 minutes and it was perfectly fine, drove great. On my way home it stalled at several lights, taking me minutes upon minutes to try to get the ***** to go.

Okay so the problem. Engine starts great everytime, I will be driving just fine and then I get to a light and start to slow down and by the time I'm stopped its stalled out. So I put it in neutral or park and start it but when I put it in gear it stalls right away. 1st, 2nd, and D all do the same thing, stall, no matter which one I try, even reverse stalls it out. I got it home eventually and started in gear every time but it took me like 5 minutes or more each time, I had to put it in neutral and rev it a lil and then put it ointo gear real quick and zoom away.

Anyone know anything about this? Bad trans? Maybe bad gas not making enough power? Torque converter clutch?

The guy I bought it from did tell me to use dry gas and carb cleaner stuff when I fill up the tank. Maybe this could have something to do with it, I dunno.

CLIFFS: Car stalls when put into gear.
