hello ladies and gents,
I have been having issues with my transmission in the mornings, or anytime the car has been sitting for a period of time and becomes cold. on the initial start, it goes into reverse fine, but as soon as I shift into drive it doesn't move (almost like sitting in neutral). if I shift into "1" it grabs for a second, then lets go. if I shift between 1 and 2 rapidly it slowly grabs after about 5 minutes and eventually gets going. I changed the filter and fluid, and there were no metal shavings from the gears in the pan, but when we opened up the filter there were some bronze shavings. we did a complete flush and I shifts like new, once its warmed up. its not throwing a code, but someone changed out all the sensors in their pan area and said it helped, I also read that there is some type of fluid like lucas that reconditions the bands but is only temporary....
My question to you guys is if any of you have had this same problem, how you fixed it, or if happened on another vehicle how was it repaired. Save all the BS answers please, I don't need to hear "bro your tranny is screwed, swap in a ms6 motor and do an awd protege5......" thanks for the feedback guys!
