4EAT not fully releasing
Posted: Sun Aug 08, 2010 1:21 am
Hey guys, I’ve been having an issue with my ’96 wagon for awhile now and I would like to call on some of our resident automat transmission gurus for some advice.
OK, say you drive to the store, pull into a spot and put it in park. Next you turn off the engine and you can feel the car (relax) slightly lunge backwards as if it were still trying to drive forward after you put it in park. I have done much research and searching on the subject and have found virtually nothing. I know very little about automatic transmissions, but am learning. I would like to learn more, it has about 233k miles on it. It does flash the A.T Oil Temp light 16 or 17 times at start up and has a slight bind, but it works well otherwise, could those issues be related to this, not fully releasing one? The fluid looks and smells right.
So, what do you think?
.
Oh and don’t say I should convert to manual, I already have one of those in my ’90 and I love it, but I love the auto also.
Thanks in advance.
