[DML] Re: Auto Trans Problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could be experiencing the shift computer wildly changing the gears
or you could in fact be slipping the clutches. Check the line pressure
and clean the filter. Get a light box and watch what the shift
computer is trying to do. Do not drive the car this way much because
you could be doing serious internal damage. You say the fluid level is
OK, but what does the fluid look like? Is it nice and red and smells
good or is it dark and burnt smelling? Put some on your fingers, is it
gritty or smooth and clean? This can tell you alot about the internal
condition of the trans without taking it apart. Make sure you check
the level as per the procedure in the Workshop Manual.
