Auto Tranny Problems....
 

Anyone with an auto tranny..... i was wondering if any of you have experienced this before...my car is having problems and i think that it is my tranny but im not sure....so here is what it does....when i go to school in the morning, if i step on it a little bit it bogs down and all of a sudden get really ruff, and sounds like a V8 (i mean it sounds like a beefed up bigblock v8. glug glug glug is what is sounds like) and im thinking that it is not shifting down into the right gear so it makes it like that....the reason i think that its the tranny is because sometimes when i go to get on the freeway in the mornings it wont shift out of 3rd and the RPMs just go up and down like it wants to shift but cant.... any input would help alot thank you!!!

I plan on getting a manual transmission to swap it out but i was wondering if this was the problem...thank you!

How many miles are on your car? If you put it in manual mode will it shift up to 4th? Are you sure you aren't in d3 sport mode on the highway?

I'm really close to having 180xxx miles... yeah im sure thats in not in sport shift...it will shift into 4th but sometimes it doesnt catch into the gear right away

You might be low on tranny fluid. Check the levels, that sounds like a good place to start.

okay thanks...and if the levels are okay? what else would you check out if it was yours?

I would check the spark plugs, (make sure that they arent roasted), check the oil levels. Outside of that, I would say it might be bad engine timing. Anyone else back me up on that?

my initial thoughts to this was engine problems as well..

start with a tune up if it's time for that before thinking the worst.

thanks everyone for all the input....it is really stormy here in washington right now so its hard to check everything...i did check my fluid and it was lacking:rolleyes: so i added to it ... i will def check the plugs because that is second time someone has said something about that....again thanks!
