Re: New Problem

IMMEDIATLY CHECK THE LINE PRESSURE!!!! If the line pressure is low it
can cause this and worse you will slip the clutch packs and wear the
frictions out quickly. If the pressure is low as I suspect then clean
the filter. There is a procedure on dmcnews.com. If cleaning the
filter doesn't help then you either have a blown seal internaly or a
worn pump. I would also recheck the gear selector adjustment to make
sure it really is in reverse, not halfway there. Also CHECK THE FLUID
LEVEL. Too high or too low a level can cause weird problems from the
fluid foaming. This is not normal behaviour for a Delorean. Driving it
like this can cause serious internal wear and damage. When you check
the level look at the color of the fluid. If it is not nice and red
flush it out. Dark, burnt smelling fluid indicates extreme wear and/or
an overheated transmission. Use Dexron/Mercon Type III.

Go drive for a bit as the car warms up as normal. Once the car is
warm, I will stop and park go eat, whatever. Come back to car, start
car up (Obviously it has warmed up by now). I shift from park to
reverse...the car will sit for 2 seconds or so THEN it will shift. It
doesn't shift immediately; it shifts after about 2 seconds from taking
the shift lever from park to reverse. Obviously this isn't normal. 
Does anyone have any ideas? It doesn't seem to do this when the car
is cold; it only really seems to do this when the car has warmed up.
