Bill, are you my buddy who used to live in Colorado? If yes then I think your trans is simply done. The Colo guy has had his car a long time, ever since the car had low miles, and he drives his car hard (like I do). If you are him I'm sure the trans is simply done. "Done" being a relative term here. It may indeed be something stupid inside the trans, but you'd probably have to get so far into it to fix that one thing that you might as well rebuild the trans while you are there, especially considering the miles on the car.

If you aren't the Colo guy then I would ask how many miles were on the car when you got it? Did you get a history with the car?

I have bad selector bushings in one of my cars. You would have felt a difference if something had suddenly come loose. The "notchyness" would be gone. There would be a feeling of "nobody home" when you move the selector.
