Transmission problem in 2001 buick lesabre

If this were my car, I’d do a proper transmission service, drop the pan, change the fluid & filter, cross my fingers and hope for the best.

If you later determine the transmisson is kaput, and you decide to sell it, I’ll bet there is a teenager in your neighborhood who’d like to buy this car from you on the cheap. Might get you some good karma. Best of luck.
