I have no clue why but it did!

I started to hear a whining noise coming from the driver side about 2 days ago. I thought it was the catalitic or something metalish since it sounded like that. I decided to flush it out since i work in a lube shop. I have always done the service every 30k and i baby my car.
All of the sudden, i was at a light and the whining noise tripled in loudness and i gave it gas it but it didnt move until i hit 3k. Im assuming my trany is gone.
*the fluid is has always been pink/red and has never smelled burned, no check engine*

Question?

- If i did blow it, is there any performance parts for the 4spd auto trany? (kits,torque converters,etc) All i find is for the 3sp.
-Any suggestions?
-Could it be something small, like a sensor, a solenoid or even the torque converter not engaging?

I cannot swap it to manual since the wifey cannot drive stick.

LMAO!!

5 speed swap!!!!!!!!

If it is still moving but it takes 3k to get it going, it could be that the torque converter took a dump, or your lost your low gear clutches... at 3k it might still have enough of a seal to pump some fluid into the trans to get it going... But i would think torque converter first.

as for upgrades for the 4 speed, your pretty much out of luck. sorry dude...

yea, i would think its the torque converted since i suppose that if it was a gear problem the transmission fluid would have that burned smell.

The car at times drives normal then in second it starts to whine n slip and some times is happens from the get-go so im almost certain that is the torque converted not engaging.
