Transmission ?
Scar 28 March 2005 01:51:18
	I noticed over last few days my car when is cold is running much higher RPM before changes gears then used to do. I checked transmission fluid and it is hard to say if level is right because there are air bubbles in it. After vehicle warms up gear shifting is smooth .Transmission fluid looks a little dirty (probably never changed ) , but I am a little afraid to change it with this mileage. Any idea what's wrong?

I know what way to check if the fluid is bad or so I read. I still changed my fluid and filter. Put a drop on a paper towel. If it does not bleed or spread, the fluid is really bad. Mine did spread but I changed it anyway, including an OEM filter. Just don't FLUSH or whatever nonsense - do an old-fashioned drop the pan, drain, and change the filter. You need to look at what's cooking inside there, just ordinary sludge or bits of metal. You could luck out with just an adjustment or it's another problem. But again, no power flushing, nothing but gravity I think should be okay? Also I had the 'tranny 'puter reprogrammed for the tranny. Check the engineering bulletins too. However I'm not a mechanic, nor do I play one, except on holidays.

	Top-posting to yours, and to mine, so it's getting to be a bit of mess: I did not post before because I hoped someone else would respond who might know more than my original post because I am not familiar with your particular car and problem but have some info on computers. On the internet, you can find procedures for reprogramming the computer after a battery dis-connect sort of thing. This is basically stopping and starting the car about 20 times and accelerating this way or that. But this is just so the car learns your driving habits. I have found the procedure on the 'net. Supposedly it is necessary. Look around. I could not find a URL for you just now but I have read it here and there. Go to Allpar.Com if you can't find anything. It's a web site dedicated to Chrysler problems and have helped me a lot at times. They also have a large section on tranny problems. In my car which has an electronic transmission, there is an actual TCM or tranny computer with a firmware chip. A dealer or a super tranny guy can reprogram the chip or EEPROM, most likely. This is not something you can do without, I think. Maybe your car is newer but you would need equipment to read an EEPROM. Eraseable Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory In my case, the tranny was reprogrammed and a shudder went away because the old programming had the upshifting going too slowly. This was in the TSB the Technical Service Bulletins. There maybe be TSB's for your car and/or tranny. The dealer can also read your tranny's computer, if you have one, to see if you have the latest firmware. You might want to ask if this is a known problem. The dealers get tons of this info some of which may be hard for the independent mechanics to also get. It's not in the interest of the dealers to share, according to some complaints I have read from the mechanics. Talking about reprogramming computers to anyone but the dealer has been a waste of time, except for extremely high-end independent mechanics, who probably charge as much as dealers, Mercedes-Benz types.

	I always took good care of my Honda Accord, but last night the transmission wouldn't lock in at all. First there was a jerk and then the car wouldn't move. I let it sit for a few seconds and then it would lock-in and move. Sometimes it goes and sometimes it doesn't. I always kept the fluid changed and this is the first problem I ever had a problem. This is '92 model with 200,000 miles. The engine still run smooth and saves gas. Does anyone knows how to check the auto transmission to see if it is a minor problem? If this is a costly problem, then I will just buy a new car since it has too many miles. Thanks, Al

	The only check you can do is make sure the fluid level is ok..then have it towed to a transmission shop for an accurate diagnosis.

This happen last night, but I just took it around the block to see if it would work and there seems to be no problem. This is weird because I know that something is wrong with it! There was no trick to get it to work last night. The transmission did what ever it wanted to do. One time there was no reverse. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I barely made it home. Now I can here winding noises is coming from the transmission. This never happen before. Have you checked your dash indicators to be sure> they aren't trying to tell you something?

	Lately I noticed the transmission doesn't work too well . When I checked fluid level I noticed a lot of bubbles on the dip stick ,and basically I couldn't see what is the level. Is the level too high , or too low ? Thanks Chuck Plymouth Acclaim 1992 , 3L , 3Speed electronic auto transmission with overdrive , 262K km.

NewMan 26 January 2006 19:18:55 [ permanent link ]
	In my experience, if an automatic has too much fluid, then you can wind up with bubbles in the fluid. This in not good for the trans at all. So I would say too much fluid. However, if you have not added fluid lately, then it seems unlikely. Since you have 262k km on it, when was the last time it was serviced (fluid & filter)? If not recently, then you might want to take it to a reliable shop and get that done. This would resolve the issue. Note that the 3 speed transmisisons are much more reliable than the 4 speed transmissions. You have my sympathy about the 3.0 litre Mitsubishi engine though. I used to have a 94 Acclaim with that engine and the 4 speed trans. Man what a bad combo. Nothing but problems, problems, problems. hth On Wed, 25 Jan 2006 18:43:36 -0500, "Jans" <Nobody@home.com> wrote: Lately I noticed the transmission doesn't work too well .

	They reprogrammed the tranny and it has NEVER happened since. The> problem is if the car is not doing it at THAT very moment when you take> it, they will never find out what is wrong as the code goes away. Ask> them to reprogram it and see what happens. Here's instructions I have paraphrased form the TDI Club forum : Transmision reset : 1) With the car NOT running, turn the ignition key to the on position, but not to the point where it turns the starter. 2) With the car NOTrunning and the key in the on position, push down on the accelerator pedal all the way, you will feel a "click" at the bottom, not very apparent, not a loud click. That is some kind of switch you are actuating. Leave the pedal down for 20 seconds, (one forum said 6 seconds, I did 20), then release it. 3) Then turn off the ignition key, (I turned it off and took it out to make sure I did it correctly). Now the tranny setting should be reset. Start the car normally and see if the tranny is working normally.

Shifting problems often can be caused by dirty fluid, dirty valve body, and/or low fluid. Have them check it for leaks and replace any bad seals and change the fluid and filter (there should be a filter inside the transmission too) and clean the pan. With new clean fluid, clean filter, and proper fluid level, 85% of auto transmission issues go away. Since you said it happens at a cold start more often, my bet is low fluid (and in turn that means a leak). That's not the end of the world at all. It happens from time to time.

	Driving home tonight my car wouldn't shift, It would just stay in first gear. I checked the transmission fluid and it looks good and the car was driving great when I went home for lunch. The car drives fine except for the transmission not shifitng, the car is a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS

	Automatic, manual, mileage, any recent maintenance, any preventive maintenance (ever, and if so, when and what), really stuck in 1st as you say or is it really 2nd? You really need to provide some information to get some back.
