Back in the old days I had a Fiat 124 sedan and I was driving like race driver until the transmission will not stay on the 2nd gear, same as my current issue. Thank you for your offer. I will first take the transmission apart and see the damage. I do have another transmission for parts.

Yes, there is no work to be done with out having the transmission on the bench. I am already thinking how I will hold the transmission on my chest, under the car and so and so. I remember the day when I got transmission fluid on my hair, nasty. The biggest think is to locate the bad parts inside of the transmission. Sometime is easy sometime is not

If you know the history of the spare one is good, in my case I replaced a bad one with another bad one, so back to square one.

I was told it was a good one but who knows. Maybe it was just a selling point.
