Transmission woes... Posted by Johnson [Email] (#3237) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Johnson) on Wed, 1 Dec 2010 22:40:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm having tranny issues with my 03 linear automatic. When I bought the car the tranny would sometimes shift hard, so I decided to change the fluid. It came out black... so I changed it several times. I used the cheapest stuff at walmart that said it was for dextron 3 tranny's Figured I was safe, just trying to clean the black mud out... i did 3 drain/fills with this stuff. since then it has mostly fixed the hard shifting when in drive. but its doing two other things that have me worried, the first is that when I've been driving, and I hit the brakes hard or soft, it will quickly down shift. as if I was in a manual, and shifted from 5th to 4th or even 3rd... and when HOT if I've been driving and I have to put it into park/reverse/neutral from drive it goes fine but if I want to put it back into drive it SLAMS into drive hard. Since the 3 drain/fills with the walmart stuff I've done 3 more with mobile 1 synthetic for automatics. when the engine is cold OR (and this is the strange one) if I turn off the car for a few moments, aprox 30 seconds or so. it will let me move from park to drive with out slamming into drive and it won't do the down shifting, till it feels like it heated back up again.. any suggestions? did I ruin my car even though the fluid said it was good for our cars?
