    Thanks people!
    Please bare with me, I'm new to this.
    The question is: It seems like my transmission is on it's way out. It shifts hard, and jumps into gear. It also winds out when going over 45 m.p.h.. Help?
    Buying a new transmission is OUT OF THE QUESTION!

    Not exactly sure on the shifting hard part.. When my trans went out, it didnt want to shift or go above a certain mph for that matter. I ended up rebuilding it myself.

    I was told that it might be the shifting solenoid. Maybe?
