Night Fury Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 This thing's retarded, I swear. I never really experience slipping or anything but the thing is just sluggish and clunky. The 05 never acted like this.... My main issue is with its downshifting.... especially on the highway. Say I'm going 70-75 and I give it about half-3/4 throttle and drop it into third OR pinning it dropping it into second, it will rev up a bit then clunk/slam into that gear a good 3+ seconds after the throttle change............... Any ideas? I'll get a video sometime if necessary... Quote
Addicted to eaton Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 my 99 did that be for it went out.. check fluid level (obviously) change fluid and filter. Quote
Night Fury Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Posted January 27, 2011 I have changed the fluid and filter, level is fine, it has always done this. I have put over 10,000 miles on it and it hasn't changed for the worse or anything... Quote
AL Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 I can try to see if there is a tsb on it for you Quote
Night Fury Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Posted February 27, 2011 Here's some vids. Yesterday it happened so bad my tires chirped on a downshift. It isn't that bad in the videos, but it should be noticeable. Quote
Euro Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 I couldn't really hear anything but the exhaust what's on there? Quote
Night Fury Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 Not sure. They were on there when I got the car..... the drone is terrible. I want rid of them. Quote
BXX Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 You have a SES light on bud! Take care of that issue (at least see what it is) and check for stored or pending codes. You may have a trans code in there. Also, when you did the trans pan drop, did you put Dex6 back in it? And by Dex6, I don't mean Walmart's Super-Tech shit:lol: Also, I wonder if the trans shifting quirkyness is in the PCM code... Maybe get a tuned PCM in there as see if things are better. Quote
Night Fury Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 SES light is for low catalytic converter efficiency (High flow cat) And yes I put dex 6 back in, and when I say dex 6, I mean Walmart's Super-Tech shit:lol: Quote
