tranny

my tranny has been normal and fine since i bought the car now over the past week im getting a lag on my shifts mainly on higher gears 3rd to drive. no problems on take offs. maybe a late point hesitation prob. it feels more tranny but ive been driving easy on it. to survive long trip to states in july. it feels more in the higher gears. the ones i think im more harsh on by driving aggresively. i have money saved for a hell of a road trip that i dont want to use on 5 or 6 spd swap yet till i get settled in the states. any one else have the same problems and how to fix or make better. small car kit. disconnet. and i got a 97 obd2 so will i get a CE light on the small car kit? I also have no sucess with at transmissions. every car did not survive. I need a clutch.

Put it in "2" and manual mode and see if it slips. If it is slipping in 2nd then a brake band adjustment could fix it.

Ive never ever heard of a 97 tranny failing so this would surprise me if it did fail.

immortal so 2nd manual and take off from a stop? till when and how do i dectect that its the bands.

i had fluid changed 3 months ago and i put some nasty thick azz slick 50 tranny stuff in. but i have not had problems till now and the only change has been the weather from 0 to 60ish. i think ill flush it again before buying a shift kit and info on that would be nice. 97 will it set CE light? im still about to try the suggested above but what am i feeling for flaring?

still need info or help i still have yet to change fluid and i did the manual thing. i did notice one big problem when in drive and at 60+ i had to slow to 40ish when i did i pushed on the gas to regain speed and got a two small jerks and the car took off. i tried it again same thing happened. is this a slip. my car on the deceleration never downshifted ethier. so low rpms in drive = jerks then catch and go. this is only in drive though. in all other gears i get little flare and take off is good. suggestions or thoughts please?

In manual and 2nd from a start if you feel it slipping then you can be fairly certain it is a brake band problem. Sounds like your is slipping in more than one gear though.

ty for response b. i tried it really no slip in low gears at all just higher gears. small car shift kit might help u think. i just need the at tranny for another 5 months till swap. for mt.

Any automatic transmission is prone to failure.

Sounds like the high clutch. In the beginning 3-4 will start to slip. After a while it gets really bad. After that 2-3 will slip.

k i changed fluid and all is well why i dont know. i changed fluid 4 months ago and i know i over filled a little. that is all i can think of with the rapid changing temp of alaska to. i did read some where about to much or not enough fluid will cause eratic and some slipping. i still am going to purchase the small car kit i dont need a scare again. will that set a ce light on the 97.
