transmission shifting slowly....
Hi all,
i am noticing this effect from a week. My transmission is shifting slowly from 1st to other gears. Mine is automatic transmission. I have to give is some high rpms (above 4-5) for shifting to other gears. Is it the problem of locking? I read somewhere on this forum tht in winter our transmissions wont lock or unlock freely (i dont know exactly). Checked the ATF level, it is fine. Also i am driving out only after warmin up the engine. Wht might be the problem... ? thanks, Pavan. |

The torque converter doesn't lock up until 2nd gear or higher, theoretically. Chech your tranny fluid level.

How high do the Rpm's get before it shifts to second gear? Could be in need of the famous brake band adjustment.

The brake band adjustment can be done by yourself but its a big pain in the ass! Getting to the bolt that needs adjusting is the biggest pain. I think a dealer quoted someone in NY at 150 for te band adjustment. I think thats what your in need off. The thing that needs adjusting sits right on top of the tranny near the starter i think. I had to sit on top of the engine to even get to it. Breaking it loose is an even bigger pain. Call up your dealer and see how much they will do it for.

Pavan i also get horrible mileage. I will get about 14 MPG. I only get about 160 for a full tank of city driving. Spark plugs...O2 sensors...clean the throttle body are things I would suggest. Also a new fuel filter wouldnt hurt. Get the throttle body cleaned first...thats the cheapest thing. O2 sensors make a big difference in mileage or so ive heard. As for the transmission problem i dont know much more but im sure someone else will be more than willing to help out.
