Stude Lark/front wheel drive

I have a Stude Lark/w an Olds 3.3/4T60 motor/trans. Worked well for 4k miles. Then yesterday, after driving about 30 mi. I stopped for a stop sign and the car would not move when the light changed. Found out it will back up but, will not take off from a stand still. If I push it to about 25 mph, it'll drive until I slow to below about 20. Drove it at 60 mph for 10 mi. to get it home. What's up? Jim

 

It died, Jimmy......................It finally got sick of that late model swill under its bonnet.

 

Wth???

 

It committed suicide...

 

WHY....


And is that THE REAL Povertyflats????

 

If I didn't know better (and I do) I would think this is some kinda Fancy Pants trick or joke.

 

sounds like first gear in the trans. Sorry I didn't have a wise crack.

 

Having withdrawl symtoms are we?

 

Don't blame me, I just bought it for the body! I want to find out what happened because both my daily drivers have the same trans. The fluid is up and red and when I shift into any forward gears, there is no noise and no attempt to drive. As I said, reverse works just fine. Jim

 

Likely story.........................

 

Let's see some pics of that thing.

 

Could you just turn the seats around, then reverse would be forward.

 

So this is really a tech question about your O/T daily drivers.
