"83 300d Auto Trans issue
I was cruising down the highway when it felt like the car lost power for a couple of seconds, when power was restored, the tranny was slipping badly.
once stopped it would not go anywhere unless I rolled it a couple mph's. Then it drove quite well until stopped again. Any help? |
FI, thanks for the feedback. Fluid level is fine, bright, and has no burnt smell.
The contributing factor of the power loss; The car seemed like it was out of fuel NOW. (the engine did not kill) 5 seconds later the engine is running fine and the trans is barely there. I got off the highway to check fluid level. All good. I had to push the car just enough, and the trans would engage (Forward and reverse) and seemed to shift/kickdown as it should. Would a trans with bad guts act this way? or could it be vacuum/switches? Broad questions I know, but I must start somewhere. Thanks for the help! |
