[Shotimes] ATX woes?

[Bruce Malachuk]

Run your codes. look for a 645 or 647 i think it was. my 95 SE (same tranny
as the ATX SHO's) does something similar. You may want to try the VSS.
Replacing it only costs about $30, but it is a pain to get too. Replacing
mine fixed  my problems for a while but there had already been physical
damage cause to my tranny. So it looks like I'm in the market for a used
tranny.

Good Luck
