automatic transmission problem
I have an interesting automatic transmission problem. Hot or cold makes NO difference. When the car is started, put in reverse it will work perfectly 100% of the time. When the car is started, put in Drive the transmission will slip for about 5-10 seconds before working perfectly. When the car is started, if you wait 3-5 minutes, then put it in Drive it will work perfectly

Your car is a 2002 ? How long have you owned it ? How many miles on it. have you ever serviced the transmission ie oil changes etc. If not original owner have you access to service records prior owner. How long has this been an issue. Your forum join date is May 13 2013 . Info like this help to figure a course of action.

You might want to do a major service as well all fluids brake, power steering, radiator, rear differential, Very basic stuff will preserve your car and prevent failures.

Drain and fill right now, after 300 miles do another one, then after 500 miles. You need it. You will probably see how murky your fluid is.

Yo Ken, your tranny is crying for some TLC. I do a drain refill every 10-15k miles, not a full flush. But I have done this each year for the last three years. But in your case since nothing has been done for a while, I'm with Mandy, you really need to do a series of drain refills in succession with some light use of the car in between each drain refill.

I am going to change the transmission fluid and filter, but you will NEVER believe this!!! The battery has been getting weaker over the last several weeks and finally died. I replaced the battery and the transmission problem is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily the battery died in my garage, and not stranded me in the middle of nowhere. Change to a new battery and now the tranny shifts like normal.
