Do the clutch packs, solenoids, bands etc. come as part of a rebuilt tranny as a unit? It seems if there is no specific electronic component or solenoid that affects 3rd and 4th gear I'm looking at putting a rebuilt transmission in. Since it shifts into 3rd and then slips I am assuming it is likely clutch pack unless someone can advise me otherwise.
I would have it rebuilt completely since its out... Most shops i use, have found known deficiencies in the transmissions so they do things in those areas to make them better. So when you do have yours rebuilt, or get a rebuilt one they are better then the original. Im not sure if your tranny fits that scenario.

Also depends on your budget... If it slips in those gears, slap a clutch pack in it and drive it.. But that just seems shady ya know... Good luck.
