I've been having a few problems with my transmission in the past week and I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on what might be happening.
All of these issues happened all of a sudden, the car was working normally one minute, then these problems developed the next and have been happening ever since:
* The transmission doesn't gear up while accelerating from 2nd to 3rd unless you take your foot off the accelerator, the car will happily rev to red line if you keep the pressure on.
* Sometimes when driving up hill, at about 40kmph, the car suddenly gears down the revs shoot through the roof (4k-5k).
* Occasionally the car will stay in a high gear even when you come to a complete stop meaning it starts accelerating very slowly when you take off again.
I checked the fluid on the third day of the problems occuring, it was a little low and I topped it up (about 400mls), though there was no change.
Anyone able to suggest what might be going on and what I can do about it?
Thanks,
James
