did you notice anything different prior to this happening? the reason I ask is when my AOD went it was slipping and then finally stoped going into 3rd and OD, I had it rebuilt and the tranny guy told me 3rd gear was gone...

have you changed the fluid and filter in the tranny recently? might be due for a service . start with the cheap things first. if it is infact toast then talk to some local tranny shops , might as well get it built to handle any future mods. here is a sweet tranny if you can spring for it. has a very strong gear set and lower first second gears which help for 4x4in and towing. and can handle some 400 hp to which is always good

gotta be careful reseting the tv cable. use your haynes manual when attempting this step cause its real easy to seriously toast the tranny if it isnt already.
