Transmission Dropping Gears?
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:41 pm
If it's not one thing it's another with this damn car.
Today, when I left to head down to Chicago from Wisconsin, when I took off, it shifted hard for no reason, and then had no 4th gear.
Whenever I would step on the gas, the RPMs would jump, then it would grab, staying in 3rd. I've had transmission issues like this before with a totally different brand of car, and the same trick worked with this car...
I turn it off, then start it back up, it works perfectly, all gears, normal shifting.
I've flushed the fluid twice now, the first time I added seafoam, drove for a few days then flushed it again.
What would cause it to do that?
