Problems in tranny town.........


98 intrigue

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am having tranny problems with 86000 miles, mostly highway and some brutal city miles. City is hilly as hell.

 

There are 2 symtoms;

 

Slipping in 1st when I start from a full stop. I am pretty easy on the pedal. Learn that from years of driving on snow and ice. I have no way to detect slips in 2nd or 3rd, etc.

 

Shutter when I stomp on the gas from a full stop. I did this with adn without the traction control. The shutter last about a sec or 2 at most.

 

 

Here is the "what did I do to my car" list.

The slipping appears after changing the tranny fluid twice. A can of stuff was added to try to get rid of the slip.

The shutter also appears soon after.

 

Maybe I killed the tranny by driving high speed for long duration. 80-90mph.

 

Nice car, too bad the end is near. Hate to have to buy an import.

 

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Thanks 4spd

 

Can any of the following cause line restriction which contribute to low line pressure?

Installation of a tranny cooler?

Debris in any of the assorted valves in the tranny?

 

I have never look into a transaxle unit before. So any detail incite will be most welcome.
